cheese o` man!!

[draboo]

lemme get this straight.....

whats the reasoning behind cheese food being wrapped in nice individual plastic packages,but when you want REAL cheese,you gotta wrestle with peeling each slice apart.

patience not being one of MY virtues when theres four grandkiddys and a few of their friends bouncing around asking for another burger w/cheese,fumbling with the pack like it was a hot potato and very probably dropping it in the pine needles,scraping off needles and by now you might as well say it has become one SOLID BLOCK of yellow mass,now the wind changes and you(or i,it depends ) cant see the slippery mass because of smoke stinging and eyes watering like watching the end of "OL` YELLER"

and i m only getting started.

is regular REAL cheese alergic to clear plastic??

or are the NOT REAL cheese(cheese"food" ) companies trying to get us spoiled into purchasing"individually wrapped slices" because of ease of use? and consume who knows how much "non live threatening" chemicals in the sake of convenience? and are distined to die 2.623 years earlier because of it??

BAH!! ITS A CONSPIRICY,I TELL YA!!! ARRRGGGGGHHH!



ok, i m done

Well, the processesed cheese can be packaged that way because it is a liquid when it gets sealed up in its tidy little clear envelope.

Why not do the real cheese thing the REAL way and slice it yourself? Would make things a lot easier than peelin' cheese off the brick.

There is no real cheese that's packaged in individually wrapped slices, only industrial product. You want real cheese, you're not going to find it in the dairy case of the supermarket next to the presliced bologna. Go to a store that has a real cheese department, and buy it in a chunk there.

Don't ever buy pre-grated cheese, either. It's stale before they package it, and it only gets worse.

An obituary in today's New York Times!

July 12, 2003
Arnold N. Nawrocki, Cheese Innovator, Dies at 78
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Arnold N. Nawrocki, the man who made it practical to sell individually wrapped slices of cheese in the 1950's, died on June 30 at his home in Sun City, Ariz. He was 78.

The cause was complications of kidney disease, his family said.

Mr. Nawrocki first tried to wrap slices of cheese with wax paper before finding a profitable way to do it with cellophane while working at the Clearfield Cheese Company in Curwensville, Pa., in the 1950's.

Wrapping the cheese -- which required a seal that would keep oxygen out -- stretched the product's shelf life from about a week to more than six months, allowing families and shops to store it and the military to ship it to soldiers around the world.

Mr. Nawrocki was not necessarily the first to wrap slices of cheese individually, but "his was the first practical apparatus," said Vincent L. Zehren, the emeritus director at Shreiber Foods in Green Bay, Wis., and the co-author of the book "Process Cheese." "The company I work for, we were able to do it much better," he said. "But this was the beginning. This was the first."

Mr. Nawrocki left Clearfield Cheese in 1972 to work at the Pauly Cheese Company in Green Bay.

He is survived by his wife, Jean Kettring Nawrocki, three sons and two daughters.
