    It's so fuckin' weird, just reminds me of how cheesemakers back in the day demanded that American cheese be referred to as embalmed cheese

    Processed cheese was the compromise

      When margarine was first introduced, dairy farmers lobbied against allowing it to be colored yellow to look like butter so the margarine manufacturers had to include a little packet of yellow food dye and you had to mix it in yourself.

        I'm from the state where it's illegal for restaurants to serve margarine unless you specifically ask for it

        I am very familiar with the stuff
