American Cheese

Is this cheese that is known as "American" really a good example of what our country can produce or is it a symbol of just how disgusting our nation is?
What used to be made from a blend of Colby and Cheddar is now something that doesn't even fit the legal definition of cheese. It is a product that was forced into American homes during 3 months of 1942 wartime efforts as U.S. officials put a ban on all foreign cheeses.
The cheese is naturally a wonderful ingredient for Macaroni and cheese and a grilled cheese sandwich but after that the product is thin of tasty possibilities. It's something that if you're not raised on it you won't acquire the taste for like many regional dishes but like real region fair, American Cheese isn't worth much aside from cheap.
