Velveeta

Just a pause from our regular action.  Every other day or so, I like to make an omelet with egg beaters (which I discovered since my cholesterol is high) and I put Velveeta cheese in it.  First off, exactly what is really in Velveeta cheese? According to their branding, it is a pasteurized prepared cheese product, whatever that really means.  I mean there isn't American, Swiss, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack and Velveeta.  I guess it is most like American, but not really.  Second is, why did they mess with the original recipe?  While I still like it, it just isn't what it was.  You knew it was bad for you, but you still loved it.  Somehow along the way, someone up top at Kraft decided it was too bad for you and dumbed down the recipe.  So Velveeta has become the hot dogs of cheese meaning you know it is an amalgamation of parts and you know it probably is bad for you, but you eat it anyway.  That's what makes us American.
