- Kraft and maybe a couple other brands of “not cheese” slices and blocks
- A larger selection of real cheese blocks and pre-sliced, pre-shredded options (I know dust parm and some shredded have filler that we’d probably also not count as real cheese)
- A whole deli counter on the other side of the store of all “real” cheese options.
Now, maybe consumption is 80% those Kraft slices, idk the stats, but just in terms of shelf space, it’s like 80-90% real cheeses.
I think the person you're replying to put the quotes in the wrong place. They weren't talking about all cheese in America, they were talking about a specific product called "American Cheese", which... well, it technically has cheese in it, but some of its components are not-cheese, and it's made in a mass-produced way that turns off many cheese aficionados.
The other reply was correct. I'm not talking about all cheese in America, I'm talking specifically about the fact that Kraft slices are ostensibly "American cheese", but in reality are not legally "cheese".
