I want to move to America now. O.O

What on earth is a cheese whiz?

Cheez Whiz is a thick processed cheese sauce or spread sold by Kraft Foods. It was developed by a team led by food scientist Edwin Traisman (1915–2007) and was first marketed in 1953.[1]

The bright yellow, viscous paste usually comes in a glass jar, and is used as a topping for corn chips, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, celery, and other foods. It is marketed in the United States, Canada, Venezuela, and the Philippines.

Cheez Whiz is one of a number of "processed cheese foods", a category including some types of individually-wrapped cheese slices. These products contain regular cheese that has been reprocessed along with additional ingredients such as emulsifiers and stabilizing agents, such as xanthan gum or carrageenan. These products derive their tanginess and flavor from additional ingredients such as citric acid and flavoring compounds. Annatto is used for coloring.

Do you realize now the depth and breadth of the fantastic foods that are eaten here?? Cheez Whiz is teh awesomeness

If by fantastic you mean "my god, if I take another bite, I won't be able to breathe!" then yes, fantastic. :p

Ah, I think I had some Cheese Whiz on Fries with Chilli once when I was in America.

No wonder Americans are such fat fucks :)

I know right...like this one time, I saw an American guy...and he was so fat, that his ass had an ass on its ASS! :eek:

Sadly, yes, the non fatty foods we have are super expensive, the poor get fat so the rich can harvest them and turn them into McDonald's hamburgers. It's a vicious cycle.

Yeh a friend was telling me the vegetables in the stores looked like total shit compared to over here.

Damn, I'd hate that...
Here, the vegetables and fruit are just, awesome, and they're the cheapest part of most of the food I buy.

Yeh a few people have mentioned it to me now along with the fatty "heavy" tasting food. Maybe they were just over there at the wrong time of year?

You're buying at the wrong places then brother. A farmer's market can yield cheap, fresh fruits and veggies any time of the year. Laziness leads to obesity... I don't care where you live.

Well yeah...I mean if there wasn't a fresh fruit/veggie place near me (haha, there happens to be 3 within my suburb and an organic markets weekly), I'd travel a few suburbs to get to it.
Another large part of a healthy diet is to get your meat/fish/veg ratio in order, a lot of people have that just about ass backwards.

Yeah, don't think I could deal with that...I'd go to where they were selling it

It is odd how years ago, the fatter you were, the wealthier you were. You could afford to buy lots of food.

Now the poorer folk are fatter since all the fatty foods are cheap.

Yeah complete reversal - i remember reading some research done in poorer Black neighbourhoods in Urban Usa and they said it was very difficult to find fresh fruit and veg in those areas. What little was sold ws over priced - so u can see how tempting it is to feed your kids off the McDonalds dollar menu..


Weirdly enough 'Farmers markets' here are extremely expensive - they tend to have a big mark up on Supermarket Prices...Vegetables are unbelievely expensive in Ireland..Big chain supermarkets tend to have the lowest prices.

Its kinda difficult to travel to do shopping if you're a single parent buying for 4 children with no car to transport the groceries.....I would also say lack of education and/or circumstances also lead to obesity..

I've found this as well. It is worth it at the end, but it seems like your almost paying for the novelty of it. Anything with the word "Organic" that's wrapped in grease proof paper seems to have the right to be expensive.

You would think that in a rural area you would have a cheap co-op or cheap farmer's market.

But no, the co-op here is run by rich baby boomer hippies who need their organic, free range cous-cous. And the farmers market is small and expensive.
I seem to manage though, we do have a lot of cheap organic foods from locals in our super markets, you just need to know where to look.

Seems to be the case alot of places..

She's back. Ended up getting Twinkies and Kool - Aid. Would have got that 40s but it was too heavy.

Kool-Aid ?


now you can start a cult

No liquid smoke?
Bitch-ass...

Just about to plan the camping trip.

I second that one. I like to get back at Whole Foods by going there only to buy three dollars worth of assorted peppers. If any of you have seen three dollars worth of six different kinds of chili peppers, you know the hell I am putting the cashier and the customers in line through. Checkout takes ages. I also like to pretend I've forgotten the names of all the peppers I've purchased Take that yuppies. Not that I don't use the peppers. I've gotten way into cooking lately and am working on making meals that are roughly the same price as fast food with vegetables in them.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here - you're trying to deliberately pissing off ppl who shop in the place you do and the ppl who work cashers there (I presume they are minimum wage ppl)...Is this a 'political statement'...i think i'm missing something..

You are hassling the ppl who shop there and the ppl who work the tills becasue what? Thats like going into McDonalds and ordering a Mac and Fries and harrassing the til guy about global corporations...Yeah like hes the the CEO and not making minimum wage...

I've worked some minimum wage jobs (when i was younger) and I really don't think i'd appreciate that at all..

Maybe I'm being trolled here...

So what did u get?

call the cops

I answered his question. You have a problem with that?

lol.......

Well, I'm glad my efforts to lend a hand are such a source of amusement to you both. Next time I'll just skip it.

I wasn't personally amused by that...though I have to say the indignant reaction made me a little jolly.
Relax man, it's alllll good.
I like your information.
Your outformation is great too.
Wait.
That sounds like a penis.
I take that back and say your outformation may also be great but I have no interest in it.
Honestly.

I was just laughing at my drunk reading and posting on this thread - totally missing that FC said what he got...

Hey FC - did u make the Kool aid yet? I brought some back from the states way back and when I went to make it I was shocked by the amount of sugar u had to add to it - so i didn't bother...

Yeh, I made the Kool-Aid. Both the Lemonade one and the Black Cherry one. It is a stupid amount of extra sugar but meh. Tastes good.

Chill out man. It was just a joke about how serious you can be at times to break the seriousness. Nothing worth getting all butthurt about.
