Cheese Food Product

I had a meeting today. I'm supposed to be there now. At 5:30 this morning I left my warm house for the winter wonderland outside. I was confident in my Subaru's ability to traverse the snow. I got about 10 miles from home, and found that the road was blown shut. I figured, 'to hell with it', and decided to cancel my appearance and go to McDonald's.

At McDonald's I was paying and I saw the cook through the takeout window making the scrambled eggs. Or should I say pouring "Liquid Egg Product" from a carton. So that is where the scrambled eggs come from at McDonald's. Because beating an egg would be so hard for high school dropouts. Good to know when I eat my Big Breakfast I'm not eating a nasty natural egg, but some unidentified liquid egg product.

It reminds me of my poor college days. When I didn't cook much, unless it was a frozen meal. I used to get these pizzas. The sold for 2 for 99 cents. They were about 6 inches across and were basically big saltines with toppings.

While waiting for one to cook once I read the ingredients, and one of the main ingredients (after soy lethecin and partially hydrogenated thingies) was some mystery item called Imitation Cheese Food Product.

What the fuck is that? Imitation Cheese Food Product?

Here is a vague web-site definition.

Imitation cheese is made from vegetable oil; it is less expensive, but also has less flavor and doesn't melt well.
