TOTALLY GEEKED!

Bottom line: you get what you pay for, it is cheap because it is nasty.

American cheese is good.

Look closely at the label on your orange slices of American cheese and you will see that the word “cheese” only appears in the tag: pasteurized processed cheese product.

If cheese is “milk’s leap towards immortality,” then pasteurized processed cheese product is milk’s deal with the devil – a complete transformation into a shell of its former self, utterly stripped soul and substance. Discover how this waxy, plasti-crappy cheese-like product came to be so popular in America – and learn about healthier, more wholesome alternatives that you can choose instead.

Sure, I could eat salads for every meal--and live to be, maybe, 75.

Or, I could enjoy some steaks and burgers and bacon--and live to be 73 and a half.

I'll take the latter.

You yourself said "some." The key is moderation, not a friggin' sandwich with NINE hamburger patties.

If i only ate meat for the rest of my life, i would be ok. Tonights menu, 12 oz ribeyes (each), and half a sweet potato (each)...

Do what? It isn't cheese. It doesn't even have a passing resemblance to cheese.

I'm not telling you not to eat it.....go ahead. Eat as much as you want.

But you can't say "It's good cheese " like it's a fact.

If I have grilled cheese I want it with american "cheese". I like it. It's yummy. MY opinion. Can we not turn every thread into an argument?

Well, that's certainly a well thought out response.

Interesting. When husker wants to turn a thread into an argument, not a peep out of you.

But, because it's ME, you have an issue with  it. It's called disagreement, not an argument.

 What does Husker have to do with this?

Do you?

We like the squirt cheese. We will make up some crackers with it on movie nights sometimes.

Haven't had cheez-whiz in forever. I didn't know it was still available.

Velveeta makes mac and cheese really creamy but I don't use it often because of the salt.

 A good steak is MUCH bigger than a deck of cards. 

A good steak. *sigh* Haven't had one in a while.

6 ounces is about all I can eat. Of steak. Any meat, really.

Yes, there are times I can eat more but 6oz is about average for me.

I have not heard of Wayback Burgers.  I have heard of In n' Out and Five Guys before.  I eat at In n' Out when I get to travel.  My city does have a Teddy's Bigger Burgers, but none of the other chains like other parts of the country have.  Of course, we have the standard fast food chains like Jack In The Box, Burger King and McDonalds.  In terms of burger size, I can barely finish a standard Whopper.  And that is without fries.  Thank goodness for the value menu with smaller portions!

I do love the taste of red meat, but rarely get to eat it.  I eat mostly chicken because of the cost.  The last time I ate steak was last year sometime while visiting with friends.  I think it was strip steak.  They broiled it, and it was delicious, but I could only finish half of it. 

I have Kraft American cheese slices in my fridge right now, but nothing to eat them with.  I used to melt it on top of lasagna, together with parmesan cheese.  I also melt a slice in my ramen once in awhile which is very tasty.  I have not bought bread in months.  I can usually only eat half the loaf before it goes bad.  I do miss grilled cheese sandwiches.  Sometimes I will pick up a box of cheese and crackers from Costco (30 units per box), and snack on those at work to keep my blood sugar on an even keel.  I really enjoy those.

We have Wendy's. Burger King and McDonald's here. A Five Guys opened up, but people say it's so-so. 

Best burgers in town are Dilallo Burger and Burger de Ville....very small chains.

Do you like fish?

I agree with this sentiment. I too could eat nothing but salads and other non-beef, "healthy" stuff for the rest of my life, or I could have a life that's worth living, even if it is a couple of days shorter.
