I guess that explains why so many have """""behaviour issues""""" since they consumed so much plastic from their mac and cheese.
This is a staple of the Canadian diet, not American lol.

Plenty of Americans eat this with chopped up hot dogs smothered in catsup

did you ever find out how much of this chemical is dangerous to your health? I'm sorry if I don't trust a paper that was not published in a scientific journal.

It's one of Kraft's biggest selling products in the US, numbnutz. You obviously have eaten far too much of it.

Excuse me while I enjoy this delicious bowl of Kraft macaroni and cheese
James Garcia
Do you want some extra plastic with that, or just the regular prepacked amount?
Chase Reed
so you have no idea what amount is dangerous?
Logan Scott
So you have no qualms about eating plastic that was banned from baby products because it was deemed hazardous?

Lincoln Ortiz
I hated that shit even as a kid, I'll never understand people who eat it. Especially when making baked mac and cheese from scratch is like an extra 10 minutes of work
Aaron Butler
Mostly a cost thing. You can buy macaroni boxes like this for .60 cent

Trace amounts of possibly endocrine disrupting chemicals are nowhere near the top of my list of life concerns.
David Peterson
>Now a new study of 30 cheese products has detected phthalates in all but one of the samples tested, with the highest concentrations found in the highly processed cheese powder in boxed mac and cheese mixes. The report, which was conducted by an independent laboratory and paid for by environmental advocacy groups, has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Although I'm inclined to believe the results, I'd like for the study to be peer reviewed.
>Phthalates are not deliberately added to food. They are industrial chemicals used to soften plastics and are used as solvents, in adhesives and in ink on packaging.
>The chemicals migrate into food from food processing equipment like plastic tubing, conveyor belts and gaskets and other plastic materials used in the manufacturing process, and can also seep in from printed labels or plastic materials in the packaging. This sounds like a large problem for companies. I wonder what European packaging has done to mitigate this.
>Since they bind with fats, they tend to build up in fatty foods, including not just cheese but baked goods, infant formula, meats, oils and fats, and fast food, studies show. I guess it's good that butter comes in wax paper, and things like better oils and baby food are bottled with glass.
ITT amerifats are shocked the major cheese producures in other countries (read: UK, france and italy) don't make yellow plastic and do contain actual flavour.
I will also give a fun fact for cheese: over 80% of the UK's cheese productrion is consumed internally - the rest is generally exported to commonwealth countries because nobody else (due to the french and italian influence in europe) eats what the UK produces.

After a long night of beers tonight I'm gonna have a box of this (actually the queso blanco) with some habanero hot sauce

>that was banned from baby products because it was deemed hazardous DOn't take the fact that a government banned something in a specific use, especially one associated with babies, as evidence that the thing is actually bad. Politicians do not give a fuck about science and never base laws on actual evidence, only on public opinion, they do it because they think it will sound good to people
Benjamin Myers
>fake study payed for by the natural food lobby >no scientists involved >no mention what doses could potentially be harmful >numbers only comparing it to other products so they can misleadingly and alarming call it twice as much as some other arbitrarily picked product instead of talking about concentrations
Why is the media so fucking bad at talking about science related things?
Carson Green
I heard this fearmongering on the news. It's 1/1000th of the quantity needed to harm you. I wish people would stop bitchin' about worthless shit.

eurocucks obsessing over americans? never seen this before

you are always eating trace amounts of the surfaces your food contacts, its not significant
Adam Rogers
so why then are these chemicals banned in baby products?
Angel Howard
It's a great cheap meal. Whenever I have guests over, I know I can cook up some Mac & Cheese and keep everyone happy for a low cost.
Bentley Martin
Because children may chew off large chunks of it and ingest it. Children are also far more susceptible to harm than adults.
Parker Mitchell
>The report, which was conducted by an independent laboratory and paid for by environmental advocacy groups, has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal
There are huge chunks of the raw data in the report that are blacked out, and what data isn't blacked out doesn't match the summary. I'm guessing there's a reason this hasn't been published in an actual journal.

So it's safe for the kids to eat powdered plastic and rubber when they are toddlers?
Jose Smith

Alexander Allen

Carter Martinez
They aren't eating powdered plastic, they're getting trace amounts of it due to dry contact. It would be way worse if they chewed on the packaging.
That being said, I think they should look for better packaging. Trace amounts of something can cause problems if it's a staple food. Admittedly, if kraft dinner is a staple food for a child they're probably already fucked for a lot of reasons.

You are right. No need to use both when they are synonyms.

The media is a business. Their goal is to make sensational headlines that get people to click their web links or watch their TV channels so they can serve you ads.
Accuracy, reliability, and so on doesn't even enter into the equation.

Corporations are free to do what they wish to individuals, and the individual american thinks he's free because the govt. lets him have a popgun and muh jeebus.

Europeans think they're free because ??? ??? ??? ??? You have more egregious income taxes, more egregious government censorship, less guns, and universally shittier societies, filled to the brim with muslims and socialists who don't realize they're making everyone's standards of living worse with their bullshit. I'd much rather live in America, where I can make money, speak my mind, and shoot Abdul when he tries to shoot up the local gay club, than Yuropoorland.
Easton Lewis
Despite the fact that I'm calling bullshit on this ""study"" it's significantly easier and healthier to make your own Mac and cheese anyway, and adds like, give minutes to your total cooking time.
Just make a roux and then add your cheese and milk and seasoning. Not hard.
Luis White
If you served my kraft mac and cheese to me I would throw it in your face and never speak with you again.
