The US doesn\'t have an empire. It does have a huge cultural influence,
but nobody forces anyone, at gunpoint, to eat fried chicken or wear
jeans and cowboy hats.

Overlooking little expansions like Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam you are
correct that the US hasn\'t moved in and administered areas like Britain
did in its heyday. That\'s given the US the freedom to invade countries,
shoot them up, and then leave them in shambles.
I\'m sure many countries would be happier if they were forced to wear
cowboy hats rather than accepting the LGBQ$ mandates that goes against
their religious and cultural heritage.

There is a feeling among many Americans that cheese is a yellow color
rarely seen in nature.

You don\'t really need a cite. The fact that Kraft sells millions
of tons of orange cheese tells the story.

Oh, hey. In 2020 (or so) Kraft sold its natural cheese to Lactalis
Group, but kept Philadelphia cream cheese, Kraft singles, Velveeta,
and the unfortunately named Cheez Whiz. Looks like the Kraft sharp
cheddar that I buy is actually French.

French cheddar?
The Philly cream cheese is good for all sorts of things, like making
strawberry dip or the topping for Guinness Cake. It takes muscle to
make that topping so that\'s boy\'s work.

If this was not the case why is so much cheese and \'cheese food\' dyed with
annatto or FDA #4 and #6 yellow? Why does Tillamook make both white and
yellow (orange) cheddar where the latter has annatto?
Color is regional too. Some places expect it to be orange, others white.
https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1991/04/18/cheddar-color-varies-with-regions/
Believe it or not, Cheddar cheese varies in color from off-white to deep
orange, because of regional preferences. According to the National Dairy
Board, Westerners and Midwesterners prefer their cheese a medium orange,
New Englanders favor a white cheddar and Southerners like it a deep orange.

Annatto is a spice, with its own flavor. Maybe some people like it.
Even the French make flavored and orange-colored cheeses. Bourisin.
Pave du Nord.
The cheese-eating surrender monkeys should know.

Agreed. It\'s a big planet though and maybe it\'s time to go our separate
ways. At one time marital divorces were almost unthinkable; make it\'s time
to reexamine national divorces. Just because Lincoln killed a few hundred
thousand people the last time the subject came up doesn\'t make it right.

The French don\'t make proper cheese, their stuff is fucking weird and tastes like sewage.

Of course. There are places in the U.S. where people expect
\"cheddar\" cheese to be white; other places expect it to be orange.
I live in the latter. It\'s generally colored with annatto.
The Mature Cheddar Cheese I buy at my local supermarket is a pale

Well the best cheddars in te UK are off white with a slight buttery
tinge. Red Leciester is the only red tinged cheese I can think off, and
all the other cheese worldwide that I have ever experienced are all in
narrow shade of white, (fetta, mozarrella, caerphilly\' to more or less
straw coloured. With or without blue veining.
Bright yellow cheese is US processed muck. And I wouldn\'t really call it
cheese.
