    As the wrangler of a 2 (almost 3!) year old macaroni and cheese is the bane of my fucking existence. I’m the one person in the universe who thinks it’s disgusting, and of course, the in-laws had to introduce my son to the unholy, un-nutritious, Trump colored carby garbage. Barf.

      Try getting tortellini or ravioli. My son (same age) loves and constantly asks for mac and cheese so I just switched to spinach tortellini or chicken and cheese ravioli etc. but call it mac and cheese. He seems to accept it as such and it’s still a fast easy choice for a meal that is more nutritious than plain powdered mac and cheese which, I’m convinced, is like crack for toddlers.

      Does Elizajane only eat unprocessed sorghum stems? Or are you just totally carb free like Christ intended?

    After my daughter was born prematurely and I’d spent the better part of 20 hours in my wife’s room encouraging her to sleep, I stumbled home for a shower and some chow.

    I murdered a whole box of the Kraft stuff.

    I have a culinary arts degree, so I’m perfectly capable of doing better. But sometimes you just need dehydrated cheese-like substance.

    Eat whatever you want, folks. Marketingspeak and snark both be damned.

      Thank you. I’m a decent cook as well, but sometimes you just want the childhood comforts of boxed mac and cheese.

      (For the record, the “deluxe” Kraft mac n cheese also has superior liquid cheese and my toddler much prefers it. )

      As a Canadian, this does not impress me. (We are the number one consumer of Kraft Dinner per capita in the world. It is a strange thing to be proud of.)

    Here I was thinking that supermarkets were filled with more and more packaged “foods” composed of fewer and fewer varieties of actual ingredients from fewer and fewer industrial conglomerates, but look at these “new” “sophisticated premium offerings” supported by “quality brands”!

    It’s easy to make it from scratch!!! Goodness...shred some cheese, put it in some milk and butter, with a little flour, over low heat, let it melt and simmer. >:(

      that sounds an awful lot like béchamel which is vastly inferior to powder/pouch.

    I'm just happy that when I want a gourmet meal, my options for liquid cheese are no longer limited to just velveeta.

      You and I are of the same mind (ignoring any snark you might have implied). I genuinely have this opinion. It was a truly exciting day when my husband and I stumbled across the product in the grocery aisle.

      ...because grocery shopping is the closest we get to date night while he finishes school/works 3rd shift.

    I mostly use food to trick my body into thinking it’s receiving nutrition. My body is so stupid that it can’t even hear me when I whisper things like, “soon you’ll be a colorectal problem” and “be born anew as a polyp in the wasteland of my belly” directly into my plate of “food.” I just simply enjoy feeling very very full but never ever having anything more than brief bursts of energy followed by long, dim valleys of almost painful exhaustion.
