Few processed foods are 'good' for you.
But some aren't made of ground glass like people want to imply either. lol.
A few weeks back we bought a large tin of hot chocolate mix. Yesterday I noticed that silicon dioxide was listed in the ingredients. Silicon dioxide is glass. Ive since read that powdered glass is added as an anticaking agent and to increase bulk but not affect the flavour. I guess if you grind the glass fine enough it won't hurt you.
lol... ground fine enough to not hurt you, most people would call it sand. That's not the first food application I've heard of for it either. I try to make sure I don't put it in my meals though. lol.
I probably got carried away by an old murder novel I read where one of the instruments used to kill off a couple of the characters was ground glass. Actually, silicon dioxide is glass and glass ground to sand sized granules is sand. I guess we've all eaten our share of sand.
I can make my own "cheese whiz" and it's better than Kraft's. lol

As long as the milk would last normally in the fridge I think. Not sure. It doesn't last that long around here.
Yummy...that looks like a very customized version of chile con queso...I'm gonna' try it! Thanks Anna!
Silicone dioxide is not glass, but is an ingredient found in glass. It is actually a type of sand.
Actually, I just realized that this thread is about bacon and that bacon bits might go nicely in my queso. lol
Well not even as tasty as Monterey Jack Cheese. Processed for sure. Just a simple bland cheese, nothing spectacular at all about it.
American cheese is light yellow/orange and somewhat bland, but I have had the same experience as GernB; heard cheddar (no mistaking the taste) referred to as American cheese in Utah, Washington and elsewhere.
