Title.

It feels like such a waste.

EDIT: This is the type of cheese I am referring to. It comes wrapped in a piece of plastic then bundled together with x more and all of them get covered in plastic

      Calling it “cheese” is like saying meatloaf made from meat is “meat”

          Yeah. But they wouldn’t say it’s made it’s “meat”

          But unless you’re making the shittiest meatloaf ever, it’s not.

          It’s meat, breadcrumbs, seasoning, egg and whatever else you might put in there.

          Yes. There is meat in it. But it is not pure meat.

              Maybe, but it’s the same logic as “cheese product”.

              If you refuse to call American Singles “cheese”, then you should refuse to call meatloaf “meat” for the same reason.

              You can call meatloaf “cheese” for all I care, just be consistent in your elitism.

                Now that I agree with.

                I call the singles “cheese” and meat loaf… personally I call it meat with everything else thrown in.

                Yeah but this is about saying kraft singles are not cheese. If someone points at your meatloaf and says “is that meat?” Are you gunna say “no”?

                It is meat it’s just meat with shit added. I mean if we include salt and pepper, I’m not even sure the last time I’ve had meat without something added.

                  I don’t disagree with anything you said here. If you were trying to argue with me, you must not have understood my point.

        I think this idea comes from the old Kraft Singles commercials that were bragging about how KRAFT american cheese is made of MILK!! Good good good. And OTHER brands are made of OIL!!! Bad bad bad. I don’t think any brands are made with anything but cheese, divided milk and emulsifiers, but here we are.

        Kraft Singles: Cheddar Cheese (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Skim Milk, Milkfat, Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey, Calcium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Contains Less than 2% of Modified Food Starch, Salt, Lactic Acid, Milk, Annatto and Paprika Extract (Color), Natamycin (a Natural Mold Inhibitor), Enzymes, Cheese Culture, Vitamin D3.
