  It says it right there on the label:  "processed cheese food".

  Not for me.

  Just for comparison's sake:

  The label of a commonly purchased cheddar cheese:

  CRACKER BARREL -  EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR

   

  Ingredients: CHEDDAR CHEESE (PASTEURIZED NONFAT MILK AND MILKFAT, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), NATAMYCIN (A NATURAL MOLD INHIBITOR).
  Size: 10 OZ

   

  The label from the American cheese I purchase:

   

  LAND O LAKES?
  Pasteurized Process American Cheese

  INGREDIENTS: Cultured Pasteurized Milk And Skim Milk, Buttermilk, Milkfat, Salt, Contains Less Than 2% of Sodium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Lactic Acid, Milk Protien Concentrate,Enzymes. CONTAINS: MILK  So other than the less than 2% of some phosphate crap these two are fairly similar. I'm not defending American Cheese as highly nutritious. Just stating facts for comparison's sake.

  We buy the land o lakes also, its way less processed than kraft!  Its cheese IMO.....  you can have your stinkin' stilton.

  FYI I love all cheeses from the stinkiest to the most processed.
