>>21910241
A lot of the cheaper ones ("standard" Kraft singles included but not the "deluxe") are less than 50% cheese and so can't legally call themselves cheese in the US.
Retards hear about this fact and then their mind immediately jumps to the rest being whatever boogeyman they believe is hiding in all the "bad" food because they're too stupid to look up ingredients. I've heard everything from synthetic polymers to sneed oils. It's even funnier when these morons thing this applies to all cheese in America because the product is called "American cheese."

As anyone who's ever actually looked it up for 5 minutes knows: the non-cheese stuff is just milk and milk products like whey.

Velveeta has less cheese and is almost entirely milk solids. American cheese melts smoothly but retains some of its original texture so it's great for sandwiches. Velveeta is better for sauces because it fully liquefies.

and because you are in europe most likely, you have far more lax regulations on what you are required to list on ingredients, its a large reason why yours looks 'healthier' than ours.

It's basically sliced cheddar, one of the most mediocre cheeses imaginable.

>>21910418
>That stuff's for vegans
according to the ingredient list on this website it's not even vegetarian:
https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrition-facts/537550/wt1/
it contains gelatin, which requires killing animals.
it also has cheese in it, just a very low amount of cheese compared to its main ingredients, which are water, soybean oil and starch.

compared to actual american process cheese, which is mainly cheese, butter, and milk solids, that's pretty rancid.
according to the same website, this >>21910421
stuff is also not vegan. it also has cheese and cream on the ingredient list, just less than real american process cheese.
it also has sodium phosphate as it's third ingredient, which is a normal ingredient for process cheese, but not in that amount.
sodium phosphate is, besides being an emulsifier to make process cheese melt right, used as a laxative, and in such large quantities you might get the shits after a few slices of this stuff.

>>21910241
Classic case of the bell curve exposing the midwit.
You ask a stupid person why they think American cheese is plastic
>it looks like plastic and it tastes like plastic!
Ask a midwit
>wtf, it doesn't taste or look like plastic, it's just cheese with sodium citrate
ask an intelligent person
>visually it looks like shiny plastic and it comes in plastic packaging which coats every single slice with microplastics which makes the cheese smell like plastic. The cheese itself isn't made out of plastic but it smells and looks like plastic, so people form the association. It's one of the top sources of microplastic in our diet. You are literally eating plastic.

>>21911221
One of the worst things about moving to the US. Unless you find a store with a cheese deli it's like 9 different versions of cheddar, American cheese, Colby jack, pepper jack and that's about it

>>21911226
that's only the individually packaged slices though.
there are packages sold like pic related where you get the same slices of american process cheese without the individual plastic foil packaging.
there's also blocks of velveeta cheese which touches a lot less packaging foil.

still looks like plastic because it's cast like plastic instead of being pressed and dried like normal cheese, but that's only visual.
when it comes to microplastics, bioaccumulation is a big factor, meaning that even good cheese tends to have a shitton of microplastics, because it came from a cow, which is a big animal that eats a lot of food and microplastics to produce a lot less food with the same amount of microplastics concentrated within.
small vegetarian animals are generally less bad than big ones or omnivorous or carnivorous ones.
