What is difference between processed cheese and the kind that every one tells me to eat?

Question

In other words, what is the best cheese to eat?

Answer 1

All cheese is plastic! I learned that the closest thing to the protein in cheese that would be vegan is latex and who wants to eat latex!!!!

Answer 2

Isn't cheese just processed milk? You have to make cheese to have cheese. Okay, not necessarily you, but a cheesemaker. Isn't that a form of processing? I mean, it's not like you can milk a cow or goat or sheep and cheese instantly oozes out. It's gotta be mixed with rennet and allowed to harden. Mmmm, rennet... oops, I mean cow stomach lining. Yum... oops, I mean, yuck!

Answer 3

"Processed cheese (or process cheese) is a food product made from regular cheese and other unfermented dairy ingredients, plus emulsifiers, extra salt, and food colorings..."

Mmm -- extra salt!

The girl above telling you it's plastic and gross isn't at all wrong. When I was small, I disdained both processed cheese and Barbie dolls, and referred to the former as "Barbie-doll-leg cheese." Compare the two; they are pretty similar in appearance.

But, mostly, real cheese just tastes better. Nicer texture. More flavours. Etc.

Answer 4

Kraft singles are processed! A block of cheese isn't. The real question is why does processed cheese melt so much better? LOL:)

Answer 5

Them orange cheese slices, are just one step away from being plastic.

I won't eat it, because it feels & tastes gross.
Nasty fake cheese, yuck!

Answer 6

Well, one's disgusting and is probably made from factory-farmed cows; the other's disgusting, probably made from factory-farmed cows, and is processed.
