Chef The name game

Comment: A boy in my class the other day told me this:

Do you know when it says on Kraft products, "Made With Real Cheese", there
isn't necessarily any cheese in it?

Instead, there is a company called that makes a product that Kraft puts in
their food, and the brand name of the product is "Real Cheese', but the
products actually isn't cheese at all. However, Kraft can still legally
say that is made with "Real cheese".

It's probably the same parent company as "100% Pure Beef," a business that supplies earthworm patties to McDonald's.

You do have to be somewhat skeptical, though. Read the label. Often that which has been made with real cheese has been supplemented with not so real cheese.

And Kraft Singles are not, I repeat not real cheese. They are "cheese food." I do not eat "cheese food."

At my house, we call them "special doggy cheese," and only the doggy has the "privilege" of eating them.
