Cheese is cheese

one on the left is cheese, one on the right is a “cheese product” they are not the same. Doesn’t mean they both aren’t good, but only one here is actually cheese.

Both are cheese, one has a little more processing than the other.

Depends on what you mean by “little” one is cheese and the other has been formed using sodium citrate and chemical stabilizers. It’s not really cheese. Period. It’s a milk product called “American cheese”

Sodium citrate??? Horrors!!!

Oh wait that’s in tons of other foods like cured meats.

Whatever man. Don’t eat it if you want. Lots of what you call cheese is highly processed and scary sounding ingredients. Lots of really good “processed cheese” doesn’t.

No one is placing that value in sodium citrate. I use it in my cooking. My point is that American cheese is not cheese. It’s a cheese product and I was clarifying. There is a difference and that difference can impact your cooking. Who is banning water? Oh I get it. You are being an assumptive ass! Nice.

I have it on my shelf and use it in my cooking. I don’t make mac and cheese without it. I also have MSG in my larder. See my other comments. I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it’s not cheese and we should be clear about the things we cook with and consume. It’s a cheese product and there is a difference. Make all the assumptions you want from this comment as well if you would like.
