I'm assuming the idea was simple convenience--to avoid the extra work of having to slice cheese.

Frankly I think that's bass-ackwards. Pre-sliced cheese goes bad faster. But many of my fellow Americans have no concept of what a cheese slicer is, nor do they know how to use one.

Where did I state an opinion at all? I said that:
1) I guessed (but do not know) that the idea of packaged cheese is for convenience.

2) I stated that pre-sliced cheese goes bad faster. This is a simple fact that anyone ought to be able to understand. Increased surface area means that it has more area to dry out and for unwanted molds to get on the cheese.

Here's the deal. In the US there are a lot of people happy to buy really poor quality food products as long as they're cheap as fuck. The bar is set so low that stuff like imitation vanilla flavor, processed cheese food, imitation crab meat and sausages made from "mechanically separated" meat can be found in almost every American supermarket.

The problem with this is that when the standard gets set so low anything significantly better commands a premium price, and good quality food becomes a luxury. In a supermarket there will be plenty of mass produced real cheese sold as if it were some kind of gourmet, upscale product. All of it will be mediocre. To get anything good you have to be in a wealthy enough area to have specialty shops, where the good stuff is sold to the rich at luxury prices. There are plenty of American made cheeses than can go toe to toe with some of the best cheeses in Europe. The problem is they tend to sell for $20-$25/lb because it's a boutique market for that kind of stuff here.

American cheese is a poverty food. It's made from cheese cuts that can't be commercially packaged, which are melted down and combined with things like salt, milk, and oils. It generally tastes like shit, but it's dirt cheap and has a longer shelf-life and is as such good for poor families that can't afford real cheese and things like shitty burgers. Can't stand the stuff in anything but grilled cheese. For some reason shitty processed cheese, supermarket bread, and some dabs of butter is just the best comfort food.

Jesus, do you fucktards not even know anything about wine? Those wines were made with European grapes in a European style.

At least Europe still produces palatable wine

I'm American before you start raving about obsessedposters. I just wish we bothered making decent wine in any reasonable volume so that the drinkable stuff didn't cost $500 a bottle.

Here's the skinny. No American cheese can ever be straight called cheese under us law.

If it is merely a combination of two or more cheeses then it is a "processed cheese"

If it is multiple cheeses plus other milk components it is "cheese food"

If it contains nondairy then it can't be legally called either of those. That is why Kraft sells American singles and why OP pic is called "imitation processed cheese food" - it imitates processed cheese food nut legally cannot be called that.

I hate my country, but we have good beer/bread/cheese. They must not have those things in America, since I don't live there and I've only ever seen images of Bud Light, Wonder Bread and Kraft Singles. I guess those are the only products that Americans buy.

Guess what, non-Americans? We have great bread, beer, and cheese here. People buy pre-sliced preservative loaf because it's tasty and it doesn't go stale. Real bread is located in the bakery, most likely found in the same market. People buy macro-brew lager because it's cheap and drinkable. We also have some of the best beer in the world. Every corner liquor store has craft beer. Also, your country probably has cheap, shitty lager too. People buy processed cheese because...they don't know any better. For the rest of us, we can just go to the real cheese section of the market. That's right, a good market has separate sections for blocks, pre-sliced, and "specialty".

Capitalism applied to food is a disaster.

I know, y'all murifats are going to come at me with "muh famines...etc"

But look at the American diet. Lots of disgusting fast food and lots of plastic food at the groceries. Heck even the vegetables are ruined. Only the tasteless breeds that are resistant to two gallons of poison make it to the grocery shelves. You cannot get a loaf of good bread anywhere. What used to be called bread is now called "artisan bread" and you have to pay out of your ass for one loaf of that shit. Otherwise you need to make do with wonderbread. What amazes me is how the fuck aren't you guys constantly constipated? Do you like takes laxities after every meal or something?

And don't get me wrong. This is not an attack on America. We Europeans aren't better. We caught the same disease and are suffering in the same ways. I remember when I was little we used to buy daily sour bread from a wood fired local bakery. Now we have to make do with plastic wrapped mass produced bread because all those bakeries went out of business. I remember my grandpa used to take me to a farmer's market to get veggies. Now you cannot get veggies anywhere but the supermarket and none of them are fresh or local. We used to buy meat from the local butchers. All meat was sourced locally. There were three in our small village. Now you can only buy meat from the super market. All precut. No idea where it came from. All wrapped in plastic. And of course you cannot buy anything but the most popular cuts. Want some offal or some fat or some not so pretty but still delicious cuts? Well you're shit out of luck. No where to get them any more.

It feels so fucking dystopian, communistic even. It used to be we ate the food that grew around us. We knew who the farmers were and where the food was coming from. Now we depend on these huge corporations to ferry food from unknown far away places and we have no control and no say over the food we eat. Buy or starve. Freedom. Capitalism.

The problem isn't that quality food is insanely out of range, it's that most people don't give a shit about what they eat. The "do Americans really eat this" tier stuff is popular because it's absurdly cheap, that doesn't mean the real stuff is overly expensive. Unless you're in literal poverty you can easily set aside a few bucks to stop by and get some decent-quality cheese from a place like Whole Foods. The "real stuff is expensive" meme only comes from out-of-touch rich people insisting you have to buy shit like $5 asparagus water for survival, when the fact is you can put together most of a perfectly healthy diet with stuff purchased from a cheap place like Kroger or Walmart.

I use shredded cheddar cheese fairly frequently, and sometimes when I make something like a microwaved taquito or something like that, I'll put cheese on top, but beause of it's low water content, the cheese takes a long time to melt, it's a pain in the ass. They probably added some process to keep the moisture in the cheese or some shit

Processed cheese is just a cheese made from two or more other cheeses.
Labeling laws stop any combination of cheeses from being called cheese, so we get the name Processed Cheese.
Cheese Food is any cheese product that's been used to make another product that includes stuff other than cheese. Can't call it cheese because of fucking diary farmers.

OP's picture is of a product that is dairy free made to imitate processed cheese.

Think of it like this, you have two cheeses you really like, so you shred them and then melt them together. By law you can't call that product 'cheese'.

Today you get more variety in terms of exotic fruits and veggies and meats but you get less variety in terms of breeds of veggies that aren't suited for mass agriculture.

So yeah, today you can buy an avocado, but you cannot get a good tasting tomato unless you pay a ridiculous premium price for it.

In the old days it used to be that all those better tasting breeds were widely available because they were sourced locally by small farms.

So it's different, but I don't think you can outright say that it's better. Personally I don't give a shit about all the exotic fruits and veggies I can get because I am never going to use those foods. I cook with local ingredients and it's very hard to find fruits and veggies that don't taste like water.

And I wasn't criticizing capitalism because I'm a commie. Actually I was criticizing capitalism because it is behaving like communism. One big entity control the whole food supply chain. In the old days we had a more decentralised locally oriented economy. Even the farms around me nowadays. All consolidated into huge factory farms. It used to be that there were lots of small farms each of them tending to many crops and animals. Now it's just these ugly mega farm corporations all around.

By that definition, ANY edible substance taken from in vivo and processed would count as 'processed food', dipshit. Steak and salads don't just rain out of the sky.

Legal definitions of 'processed' concern themselves with adulteration of the original product; thus, cheese from a single origin can still be called 'processed' if enough additives (e.g. emulsifiers, saturated vegetable oils, extra salt, food colorings, whey or sugar) are added to significantly change its qualities.

What recipe are you referring to? Placing a type of cheese on a particular bread or cracker? This is putting and pairing cheese with different things, which has thousands upon thousands of different things you could do it with in many ways for centuries.

As I already stated you have the cheese by itself first. Then you have it with/on/prepared with something, specifically that pairs well with the beer it is with.
