processed cheese product, it's a common thing in the US. Aged "real" cheese is very expensive there.

It's good healthy cheap food that has good shelf and fridge stability. It's an excellent choice for people with not much money to spend. It's also very high in protein. iow, it's good food.
I used to buy processed pepper jack cheese to make nachos, it was so yummy and melted very well. I grew up on kraft too. Walnut cheese from Germany is also processed.
I can’t agree. The brief period I was in the US was food hell and their weird orange plastic ‘cheese’ was part of that.
The US has wonderful food, you just have to know where to shop for it. :)
Being 15 at the time I didn’t get much choice in the matter
