where did the misconception that this is plastic or fake come from? it's literally just cheese that has been melted and mixed with an emulsifier. It has been around for over 100 years
>>21910241because it’s cheap and quintessentially american
>>21910241It looks and tastes like plastic.
>>21910241Ignorant, terminally online incels believe anything and repeat it.Just ignore them. Even though they outnumber us here.
>>21910249It doesn't and you're just plain dumb.
>>21910241Those terms aren't being used literally. They're not misconceptions. They're pejoratives.
>>21910241A lot of the cheaper ones ("standard" Kraft singles included but not the "deluxe") are less than 50% cheese and so can't legally call themselves cheese in the US.Retards hear about this fact and then their mind immediately jumps to the rest being whatever boogeyman they believe is hiding in all the "bad" food because they're too stupid to look up ingredients. I've heard everything from synthetic polymers to sneed oils. It's even funnier when these morons thing this applies to all cheese in America because the product is called "American cheese."As anyone who's ever actually looked it up for 5 minutes knows: the non-cheese stuff is just milk and milk products like whey.
>>21910253>Calling American cheese plastic = IncelAre you retarded?
>>21910259>They're not misconceptions. They're pejoratives.See: >>21910263The pejoratives used reflect genuine misconceptions about the product.
because they saw a reddit post about how american cheese can't legally be classed as cheese. so their smooth brains fill in the gaps and think that means it is made of plastic/chemicals
>>21910241>where did the misconception that this is plastic or fake come from?**NEWSFLASH**It's not a misconception.
>>21910249I think this all it is, it just takes like plastic. Still absolutely fucking superior in grilled cheese or sauces, especially if you get deli one
>>21910267>>21910280Who cares what idiots think? Singles have their uses but objectively can not be labelled as cheese because they lack the neccesary purity.
they forget to take the plastic off
>>21910241We gotta make fun of you amerimutts somehow.
>>21910241Europeans dont know you have to take the plastic off
>>21910376>We gotta make fun of you amerimutts somehow.It's too easy. You only have to look at their cheese, bread, beer, thanksgiving dinners, chemical meat and appalling food hygiene standards.
>>21910391>Europeans dont know you have to take the plastic offIt makes no difference.Reminds me of why Kinder eggs were banned in America . . . . Americans kept swallowing the plastic toys inside.
>>21910249it really doesn'tt. used to autistically chew plasticprobably why I'm retarded now
>>21910241Retarded people would directly light it with a lighter and because it understandably burned and developed soot because that’s what happens when you light something with a lighte up close, such fucking retards started calling it plastic.
>>21910241>It has been around for over 100 yearsAnd it's still not expired.

>>21910409That garbage is incredibly rare in the US, basically nobody but poors that do shopping at the dollar store buy it.

>>21910418>That stuff's for vegans.Stop coping . . . . .you are embarrassing yourself. Here is vegan stuff.
whats the difference between velveeta and kraft? i thought they were the same thing?
>>21910421It's imitation cheese. It's marketed specifically for people that explicitly don't want or can't have cheese. I can even tell you where to find it. It's fucking Raley's brand. They sell singles of "normal" American cheese as well.

how does mcdonalds get away with calling them cheeseburgers if they don't use cheese?
>>21910455And compare that to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbSUvsgJgBs
>>21910438Velveeta has less cheese and is almost entirely milk solids. American cheese melts smoothly but retains some of its original texture so it's great for sandwiches. Velveeta is better for sauces because it fully liquefies.
>>21910241unless it says cheese on it, it is not exactly cheese. it usually says cheese product.
>>21910265Wow, this is actual incel behavior!

>>21910396False. Why are eurofaggots wrong so often?
>>21910241Seething europoors
>>21910396The funny thing about Kinder eggs is that it was British kids choking on them. The law that was cited in the US ban predates the chocolates by decades. 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
no one actually believes the cheese is literal plastic retard, it's just a wordplay joke the boomers had, it's basically the modern equivalent of calling it "goyslop" cheese
>>21910371Kek
>>21910757Why would truth and reality get in the way of retards being arrogant shitbags
>>21910588>cheese shilling jeets80% of jeets are lactose intolerant, Sanjay. Cheese is quintessentially white and it makes you angry that you can't eat your god's milk without firehosing shit out of your smelly asshole. Or maybe it makes you hapoy that it has that effect on you, you people literally worship poop after all
>>21910461We said we did but we're just as big of shitty liars >>21910588CheckedThis board is shockingly full of corporate product shills>>21910998What the fuck are you on about, keep your poop fetish to yourself
>>21910392our cheese and beer wins world contests, bread... we have bakeries dipshit, thanksgiving dinner i'll give you based on the shit some people make, chemical meat... not even sure what you are on about there specifically but i'm guessing hormones and antibiotics, to which don't really care till it actually effects me and me alone (you get fucked over by our antibiotic use as well) and as for food hygiene standards, there are few countries stricter than ours, but that's probably not what you care about because you would be below them as well, we both have different processes for making sure food is sanitary, i'm going to guess you are from europe, you put bans on how we process and sanitize our food so we can't sell it on import for cheaper than you can make at home, its not that ours are worse, its you needed to protect yourself. and because you are in europe most likely, you have far more lax regulations on what you are required to list on ingredients, its a large reason why yours looks 'healthier' than ours.
>>21910396>>21910757>>21910991the truth is kinda funny, we found out you could put 20-40% sawdust in food before people realized it was there, this is what caused laws against non food items being inside food to happen in the first place. kinder eggs were just an unimportant casualty in enforcement by letter of the law.
>>21911046>our cheese and beer wins world contestsWorld contests, sponsored by American companies, held in America, judged by Americans . . . .seems legit. NAH.
>>21911046American food standards are below 3rd world levels, you are not fooling anyone. Cope more.
It's basically sliced cheddar, one of the most mediocre cheeses imaginable.
>>21910418>That stuff's for vegansaccording to the ingredient list on this website it's not even vegetarian:https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrition-facts/537550/wt1/it contains gelatin, which requires killing animals. it also has cheese in it, just a very low amount of cheese compared to its main ingredients, which are water, soybean oil and starch.compared to actual american process cheese, which is mainly cheese, butter, and milk solids, that's pretty rancid.according to the same website, this >>21910421stuff is also not vegan. it also has cheese and cream on the ingredient list, just less than real american process cheese. it also has sodium phosphate as it's third ingredient, which is a normal ingredient for process cheese, but not in that amount.sodium phosphate is, besides being an emulsifier to make process cheese melt right, used as a laxative, and in such large quantities you might get the shits after a few slices of this stuff.
>>21910241Classic case of the bell curve exposing the midwit.You ask a stupid person why they think American cheese is plastic>it looks like plastic and it tastes like plastic!Ask a midwit>wtf, it doesn't taste or look like plastic, it's just cheese with sodium citrateask an intelligent person>visually it looks like shiny plastic and it comes in plastic packaging which coats every single slice with microplastics which makes the cheese smell like plastic. The cheese itself isn't made out of plastic but it smells and looks like plastic, so people form the association. It's one of the top sources of microplastic in our diet. You are literally eating plastic.
>>21911221One of the worst things about moving to the US. Unless you find a store with a cheese deli it's like 9 different versions of cheddar, American cheese, Colby jack, pepper jack and that's about it
>>21911226that's only the individually packaged slices though.there are packages sold like pic related where you get the same slices of american process cheese without the individual plastic foil packaging.there's also blocks of velveeta cheese which touches a lot less packaging foil.still looks like plastic because it's cast like plastic instead of being pressed and dried like normal cheese, but that's only visual.when it comes to microplastics, bioaccumulation is a big factor, meaning that even good cheese tends to have a shitton of microplastics, because it came from a cow, which is a big animal that eats a lot of food and microplastics to produce a lot less food with the same amount of microplastics concentrated within.small vegetarian animals are generally less bad than big ones or omnivorous or carnivorous ones.
>>21911230Hannaford is good.
>>21910249>he doesn't know to take the wrapper off before eating it
>misconception that this is plasticNot a misconception. It literally is plastic. All cheese is. People just don't actually know what the with even means, is all.
>>21911266lmaoNo it fucking isn't. It's okay, but it's not good.
>>21910241>mixed with an emulsifierAnd water. It's not legally cheese because it's not cheese, it's thinned out bullshit.>>21910267I know exactly what it is. It's cheese dissolved in a mixture of water and sodium citrate. It tastes shitty and normal cheese melts anyways.>>21910280Sodium citrate is a non-natural additive
>>21911966>waterNo. It's milk. There is literally no added water in American cheese.How can someone be so confidently wrong?
>>21912103>How can someone be so confidently wrong?How indeed.

>>21912103>>21912150>YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE THING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MADE OF A BUT IS WATERED DOWN WITH B IS SUPPPOSED TO BE SHITTY!Eat your goyslop piggie!
>>21911966Sodium citrate is also known as sour salt and has been used for thousands of years, especially for religious reasons
>>21912156>Oh noes! They "watered down" my cultured milk with...>MORE MILK!
>>21912161Cheese is not milk, it is cheese. You are coping about eating an inferior product.
>>21912162The thing that gets me about morons like you is I'm not even a fan of American cheese in most applications. But it excels in one application where other cheeses fail. It melts to a consistency that is literally impossible to replicate otherwise.(Btw, you can get American cheese that is legally cheese sp even your core premise is retarded).
>>21910392Where are you from again? Oh wait no one cares.>thanksgiving dinnersA roast turkey with stuffing, gravy, vegetables, and mashed potatoes is something you mock? I take it back I want to know what shit hole you infest.

The good thing about american """cheese""" products is that amerimutts get to eat it and i don't.
It's funny. I guarantee the same sharts defending their "cheese product" are the same ones that also seethe about "seed oils"
>>21910241How much microplastics has the average burger shart produced in his lifetime with just those fuckin individual plastic cheese wrappers alone
>>21912911unless you're a north korean peasant, your country's supermarkets sell american cheese and you have as much of a choice to buy it or not as the average american doessome asian countries might not even sell actual cheese, whereas americans have that option.

>>21913281>Imagine thinking you can simply dodge the nutella bullet like thatI don't think you understand.Americans are not shy about telling Euros the USA is the same size as Europe but what Americans don't realise is that travelling through Europe is a lot more different than going from a blue state to a red state and different sales tax. Each 'State' in Europe has a whole different culture, language, scenery, government and food than the next. Have you not noticed that Italians eat completely different foods than the Norwegians?

>>21913322Because it's your idea that you're supposed to make.Sounds like something only recently possible with peanut milk in emulsified cheese form
>>21913345https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processed_cheese> Processed cheese was first developed in Switzerland in 1911, when Walter Gerber and Fritz Stettler, seeking a cheese with longer shelf life and influenced by fondue and cheese sauces, added sodium citrate to melted Emmentaler cheese and found that the emulsified cheese sauce could be re-cooled into a solid again

>>21913447>when don't you call it milk then?Milk is part of cheese, but calling cheese milk is like calling a sandwich bread
>>21913525picrel is the ingredient list, so there's buttermilk, cream and regular milk in there+ an unknown percentage of three types of gumbut "2% or less of salt"
>>21913553Before the name sandwich was coined, people called sandwiches breadA cheese sandwich was cheese bread, a beef sandwich was called beef bread, etc.

They just taste gross.
>>21913556Yes thank you for confirming what I said.>an unknown amount of 3 types of gum but only 2% or less of salt!Read it again slowly. That "2% or less" doesn't stop at the salt on ingredient lists. Ingredient lists are ordered by percentage of weight. Why are you posting when you cannot read? Illiterate retard.
>>21913557Wow crazyHe's still an ESL monkey for asking "when do they call it milk" when referring to cheese like it's a gotcha
>>21913581>Ingredient lists are ordered by percentage of weightingredient lists where i live arent ordered like thatalso they usually have percentage or unit listed along with the ingredientslike with a list of nutritional values, except its ingredients - if you understandthere's no punctuation OR WORDING indicating that "less than 2%" is applicable to the rest of the list>Illiterate retard

>>21915968That's just not true. Most of the singles are "cheese product" which means it has whey added. It has to be called "imitation cheese" if it uses oil. And you only see those at bottom of the barrel places like the dollar store.
>>21917643You have to look pretty hard any more to find imitation cheese slices. The era of middle-class Americans thinking eating real dairy would kill you is decades in the past now.

Great drunk food and the new fancy ones with real cheese just don't taste right.>>21913458>>21913458That's for the people that still think if you eat fat you might not live forever. 2% milk is milk with 2% butterfat. Just when you think Americans are retarded about these things, some Eurotard shows up and completely misunderstands the situation>>21913451Speaking of which. The whole point of Cougar Gold is that cow college geniuses figured out how to age cheddar protected in cans. It's not le Laughing Cow or Velveeta and is not shelf-stable.
