    American Cheese is a fascinating example of long term marketing. Sell something to kids and a food product goes from 'you want me to eat what? we hated that in the trenches!' to 'american icon and memories of childhood' in only a few decades.

      +neeneko Supposedly the emulsifiers & flavor enhancers created after the war make today's process cheese far superior to ration cheese, so that probably helps. But absolutely! In the original script, I had a whole section of process cheese history that we had to cut for time. /Lauren

      +Markus Brorson *nod* not just 'inspired', but repurposed. A lot of funding went into both developing foods and building the manufacturing infrastructure to feed troops. So post WWII there was a massive industrial base for producing food rations and less army to buy it. So as part of a 'swords into plows' program a lot of it was redirected towards civilian use, including a massive and coordinated advertising blitz that literally redefined domestic life and gender expectations around the need to sell stuff no one would have wanted otherwise.

      AND they prohibit anyone from doing studies and keeping/distributing info.
      Studies in other countries have shown that the GMO corn causes several problems in rats. This might be the herbicides and pesticides which GMO cropping and monoculture cropping endorse....
      It's a war tactic. Agent Orange... As well as cloudseeding etc

      All cheese is processed. Welcome to reality, read the definition of what “processed” means. American cheese is just a mix of cheddar, Colby, milk, and salt. That’s it, it’s made that way to help it melt easier. It’s not plastic like you think it is, it’s just food science.

    In Denmark, rules are quite simple: If the major part of the product is not made from milk, it's illegal to call it cheese.
    Companies use all kinds of other names for it: Pizzatopping, gratinating products, cheese flavoured topping etc.
    But in reality it's made from water, palm oil, starch, different emulsifiers (as mentioned in the video), flavours and colours - so no milk in it. :/

      Well it depends. The problem is you assume without evidence. If you were to say, list every ingredient of a tomato, or were forced to label foods by chemical name, tomatoes would include thousands of inpronounceable names.
      Are you suggest if a ingredient is hard to pronounce it is bad?
      This is the crux of the issue. Tomatoes contain hydroxl acid, which can kill people. Yet no one bats an eye.
      I'm not arguing every ingredient used is good, I don't honestly know. Here's the difference though. I'm humble enough to admit that, while you are dumb enough to assume.
      If FDA deemed it safe for human consumption, it is. Unless there is some side effect you'd like to show a peer reviewed article of i'm not sure how to respond. Do you have one of those per chance?

    your definition of plastic was incorrect; plastic means that if something is molded, it will retain the shape it was manipulated into, it doesn't mean that it will be easy to mold it. And some materials are elastic until a certain amount of stress is applied and then behave with plastic qualities only under such high stress situations.

    This is more American advertising partial truths. Like McDonald's and their 100% beef patties, it's intended to make people believe that the patty is nothing but beef. What it really means is that there is no Iguana, penguin, chicken, pork, goat, caterpillar, bat or any other type of meat in the patty, all meat is beef, and the patty isn't required to be 100% meat according to FDA regulations. McDonald's only needs to have a 33% beef content in their patties to call them 100% beef, that means that 67% of the patty is anything that isn't toxic to humans. Sawdust? old 'T" shirts?, discarded thongs? who knows.

People that just want to eat will buy the processed cheese throw a can of Rotel, which is literally diced tomato and peppers, into it and microwave it. People are lazy. But can you blame them when they can buy a can of precut vegetables and cheese that will melt with no effort off the shelf?

      It's not really a "problem" for most foods like pizza, it's actually exactly what you want most of the time, enhances the flavour and all. It quickly seeps back into the food most of the time so you only notice when you just take it out of the oven. I also tend to put a _lot_ of cheese on my pizza, may not be so noticeable with a more moderate ammount.

    • @ivanlagrossemoule
      @ivanlagrossemoule 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm Swiss and I can assure you that cheese does that. If you ever make fondue with pure cheese and white wine, you will find out that the cheese 'separates', meaning the oil seeps out. Usually the fondue cheese mix you buy either has additives, or you have to add flour (or corn flour) to it so it gets smooth again.
      Usually it's not very obvious because cheese doesn't fully melt, doesn't remain melted for long enough, or the oil is absorbed by something else without you noticing.

      Ahmed Solis that is absolute nonsense. There are no people that need meat or dairy so long as they get vitamin B12 supplement. The difference from one person or another is they may have an allergy to a specific food. Unless someone has some kind of acute digestive disorder, everyone will thrive on whole foods plant based diet. Some people with allergies may need to avoid wheat, soy, nuts, or a specific food item, that's all. There may be one in thirty thousand that needs a special supplement like carnitine.

    I used to be a cheese snob, and I would roll my eyes a the very words "American Cheese." Mostly, I did that so as to retain my standing with my fellow college-educated food-and-wine snobs.
    Then it struck me. I love the flavor and creamy texture of American Cheese. It's simply delicious.
    I branched out to reacquaint myself with other things that my former culinary snobbery had robbed me of. Chef Boy-Ar-Dee canned ravioli. Canned corned beef hash. Canned peaches and fruit cocktail. These things aren't "better." They're simply wonderful in their own way

    Bonus:
    (1) Yellow American cheese can be colored with either annatto (like the yellow varieties of "proper" natural cheese) or artificial color. Natural cheese is colored almost exclusively with annatto.
    (2) White American cheese is less likely to feature artificial color at all, which is why we can give that to our son, who reacts badly to many artificial colors and flavors.

      it's found in everything because it binds to everything. it binds to the aminos and lipids in the cheese. basically it makes emulsification in this instance possible and keeps it stable.
