Why can't we eat Velveeta Cheese?
That stuff is soooo good but my mother-in-law said we can't have it. Anyone know why?

Re: Why can't we eat Velveeta Cheese?
Because it's not cheese. Did you know that the long rectangular box it comes in doesn't even have to be refrigerated before it's opened? Anyway, it's a no-no because of the fillers. Try real cheese. It tastes better anyway.

Kelly, I know, I was bummed at first too. I had a couple great recipes that called for Velveeta. Put it off til later, if you have to have it. You may find you won't miss it at all though!BARB

Actually the sugar isn't added sugar or it would show up in the ingredients. Its most likely naturally occurring sugar from the Milk.Originally posted by pladd04

Don't be sad
There are tons of fantastic natural cheeses!
Honestly, it won't be long before you can't fathom putting that nasty over-processed stuff in your mouth

I've always been frightened by this phrase:

If they have to specify that yes, indeed, it is food...it's bad news.Erin
