Thanks for the rec - I had never heard of him and he just posted a Cordon Bleu Butternut squash recipe. I have a crapton of Butternut Squash from my garden, I’ll give it a shot.

That is wrong in ways I didn’t know wrong could exist.

I think the funniest (maybe saddest) part is the prepackaged pre shredded probably coated in industrial starch byproduct processed cheese is labeled “farm style”. American consumers really have no concept of what a farm is.

To be clear, they are labeling the way the cheese is cut as “farm style”, compared to regular or fancy shredded cheese. It’s the same cheddar as their block cheese, just with stuff to prevent mold or clumping.
It’s pretty amazing the amount of money people will pay for things like pre-shredded cheese and pre-cut vegetables just so they don’t have to do a little extra kitchen work.

I have so many fond memories from when I grew up on the family farm - milking the cows, feeding the chickens, adding the cellulose based anti caking agent to the shredded cheese. Ah, simpler times indeed.

You do realize it’s a coating added to the cheese after shredding and not part of the cheese making recipe, right?

I won’t buy pre-cut vegetables, but I will pay to avoid using a grater. I use frozen shredded potatoes if I want potato pancakes.
I do indeed.
Precut also made for olds and disabled. Ditto all those useless kitchen gadgets most of us dismiss.

Pre-shredded cheese is the absolute nut low. Grate your own cheese and enjoy the gooey meltiness.

Jesus Christ. Even I know that’s not pizza. Pizza uses mozzarella cheese. Not cheddar.

Thing is, turn that rice cake into a tortilla and you have a perfectly respectable microwave quesadilla (and like 400 more calories).
I thought rice cakes were a temporary insanity of the 90s, long ago discontinued.

It remains a persistent myth that you have to punish yourself with terrible food to lose weight, so stuff like rice cakes persist. Its a winning sales formula to make people feel guilty about being fat, make them feel like they deserve to be punished for being fat, get them to PAY YOU to punish them with God forsaken stuff like rice cakes, then when they inevitably crack and eat a cheeseburger they’re back to step one.
