Look, if you buy pre-grated parmesan you have bigger problems in your life than wood-pulp. Get your act together.

I don't know much about that stuff, but how do they get that cellulose out of these plants, do they use some fancy chemicals? If so, doesn't that add to the chemical cocktail consisting of small traces of pesticides, fungicides, fertilisiers and other residues coming from wrappings, ink on the packages, antibiotics in animals and so on everybody ingests on a daily basis??
Isolated all these things might very well be a non-issue for human health, but what about the accumulation of all that shit from the day we're born till the day we die?
Can we stop calling, Powdered Cellulose "Wood Shavings" or "wood pulp"?
But we need less regulation on businesses! Forget that, these companies would have us eating rats if they could get away with it. The food industry is still kinda scary now, but pre FDA...horrific.
The thing is people say food tasted better in the 60s because there were less fake ingriedients in it and more natural food
Make America grate again.
LOL this. I have a friend that travels every year to Greece to bring Parmesan (and to visit his family). I always get a bit from him and it lasts me a while. I wish I could get the good stuff in the supermarket, but alas.Look, if you buy pre-grated parmesan you have bigger problems in your life than wood-pulp. Get your act together.
Damn dude, doesn't it hurt?I always buy a slice of a wheel and grate myself. The stuff actually melts that way too.
Yeah, the casserole and gelatin phase of the 60s-70s was terrible. Julia Child did what she could. Even her transcendence wasn't enough. A whole generation of people raised to think Jello was the height of culinary mastery. RIP, you beautiful soul.
you know there are other countries in the world, places where Jell-o was never heard of. in some places eating was pretty great back then and it still is.

Eating is pretty great now in America.
The access to foods from all over the country/world is amazing. The amount of choices you have is amazing.
Great cheeses made in the US and Europe. Fresh vegetables and grains and fruits. Wonderful varieties of restaurants making an insane amount of different things.
Judging American food by McDonald's and Kraft is just as ludicrous as judging American beer by Budweiser or American music by Meghan Trainor.
Judging food culture based what the majority is eating is pretty fair in my opinion.
Not if you want to make a useful judgement.
Saying food sucks in America because most people eat Kraft dinner and McDonald's is not useful because it leaves out that we have access to a likely historically high variety of different foods.
I didn't say that food sucks in the America but claiming food is great in the USA because you can import European stuff or other stuff from all the world just says that the food in the rest of the world is great.
We have amazing farms here, amazing cheese makers, amazing breweries and wineries, amazing restaurants, amazing food shops etc. We can also get shit that Europeans really like.
I wasn't even responding to you originally, I responded to someone saying that some people live in a place where food was amazing in the 60s and still is, implying that food in America is not amazing. I'm saying that food in America is amazing.
Damn dude, doesn't it hurt?

And at the other side you say one can't rate American beer based on the mainstream beers.
While I can go to Belgium, Czechia or Germany and the mainstream beers taste great - even ignoring all the traditional regional beer brands.
Craft beer is mainstream in the US. Available at nearly every single store that sells beer and at most bars. When you get a minimum level of accessibility, popularity is irrelevant.

That's cool and it's true that mainstream beers are better there, but craft beer isn't a niche thing in the US that you have to look hard to find in bars or stores. They're everywhere. Any supermarket has a pretty huge variety and it's getting better every year.
As far as popularity, who gives a shit. If I enjoy it more and can get it wherever Bud Light is served, who cares. They can drink their piss water and I'll drink something with taste.
No, not raelly.
Craft beer (which doesn't even say anything about the quality) has a marketshare of 14% in the USA.
The USA is still a nation of light beer drinkers and that's not something that's make a good impression in the most parts of the rest of the world.
Anyone who doesn't buy genuine Parmigiano deserves to be eating wood.
The Italian food industry loses billions a year on products that claim to be Italian or show symbols that relate to Italy.
I hate to break it to you, but cheese is what happens when you add extraneous stuff to milk. We don't have cheesing cows right next to the milling cows. If adding cellulose is not harmful and doesn't affect my enjoyment of the product then why should I care.So, uh, what are you getting at? Just "fuck it, if it doesn't kill you, why not add it if it saves Kraft some cash?" Are you people really this confused that food doesn't need to contain extraneous stuff in it?
