Whey cool

This goes for everybody up to and including your nearest pizza place:

Buying cheap cheese is worse than buying no cheese at all. When you have no cheese, you don’t waste time, energy, and other ingredients trying to make it edible.

Approximately a third of your grocer’s “dairy” case is occupied by some substance that, were it not enhanced by artificial coloring, would not even look like cheese; my informal analysis finds it to be something like 30 percent nonfat dry milk, 15 percent filtered biodiesel, 5 percent unfiltered biodiesel, 35 percent lawn clippings (contributes dietary fiber), and 15 percent Styrofoam.

    As we know, Charles. As we know all too well.

    In spite of the biodiesel, maybe because of the grass clippings, Kraft singles make the best grilled cheese sandwich. Plus, that’s a way to use packaged white bread, which is otherwise only fit for temporary caulking.

    Does he in fact have any cheese at all?
