Yeah, these are the biggest joke in the food industry. They aren't real cheese, and they don't even taste all that much like real cheese, good cheese! Here, I'll list off the ingredients for real cheese, then a package of "Imitation Pasteurized Process Cheese Food." Cheese food!!Cheese: Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, salt, enzymes, annatto (for color). That is it! The main ingredient is milk.
American Cheese Singles: Water, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Modified Potato Starch, Casein (A Milk Derivative), Salt, Calcium Phosphate, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Lactic Acid, Sodium Citrate, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Sorbic Acid (A Preservative), Natural Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Artifical Color, Artificial Flavor. Now where in there do you see milk? All I see is a milk derivative, and there is less of that than potato starch!! This stuff was cooked up in a labratory somwhere, and companies are trying to convince kids across the country that this is what cheese tastes like. *sigh* It is just a huge scam. I don't dislike artifically enhanced foods a rule, but this stuff is just nasty...

Yeah, I was, but in my defense it probably isn't something many people think about, so I've given y'all something new to think about! ;-)
i thought about it very recently... since you made a point of pointing it out to me before you blogged.
