I haven't made this stuff in years- Making good mac and cheese from scratch is so easy and so much better but some still do and need to know about this.

I am sure almost everyone who eats Kraft or any other boxed mac and cheese knows about the yellow die. I doubt the cheese is real, but many people love the stuff. I don't think I have bought a box for 30 years, I may have when the kids were still at home and our daughter said Mac and Cheese helped her get through college. She lived on it when in an apartment. Of course when she got her monthly check form mommy and daddy she would add a can of tuna. That was the first week after check, the rest of the time it was Mac and Cheese. Her husband still loves it.

We have cheap food, in cheap food they use cheap ingredients. Food coloring is everywhere. The most dangerous #40 is even in body wash and shampoo. Not only we eat it, but also we absorb it through the skin. Toxic Food Dyes and Dangers of Artificial Food Coloring

OK... if making good mac and cheese from scratch is so easy and it's so much better, it would seem a much better investment of the mom bloggers' time and resources just making it from scratch instead of trying to get a major corporation to make their thoroughly crappy product ever slightly less crappy.
I noticed in the UK that Birds Eye made healthy frozen meals -- entire MEALS--without additives. When I came back to the US I thought maybe I could find similar over here but no. UK foods were not more expensive than ours either.
They also don't have hormones in their beef. You can't put hormones into your body year after year and not be damaged from it somehow. But if we want hormone free beef we have to pay extra for it.
I wish more people here would protest these things.
I used to love Kraft Mac and Cheese for many years until 2 years ago when they changed thier recipe and it became disgusting!!!!! (Noodles stuck together when making it,etc) -- I thought it was a problem with something in the water!! (Then i noticed on the package the calories had dropped from 410 to 400 (SOMETHING CHANGED IN THIER STUFF))
Luckily I have found another macaroni and cheese that is AS GOOD AS THIERS WAS before they changed it for no reason!
I never got the obsession with Kraft dinner. It's entirely disgusting. Seriously.
I'm shocked at how many moms feed it to kids, including young toddlers, and then complain that they won't eat 'real food'.
My son has never tried it and I'll never even have it in my home. Blergh. If you really need the convenience, there are organic brands like Annie's that do a natural version, though I still don't like the idea of powdered, shelf-stable cheese.

Okay, I don't understand how even the 'cheap food' excuse explains the need to pump chemical artificial crap into everything, like color. If anything, it costs money to manufacture and add that crap in, and it's not like it does anything for the food except make it a disgusting acid-trip color. So why?? Why add it? I've even seen coloring listed on a pack of butter. I mean seriously, why do you need that??
