Then it’s not American cheese, is it? It’s imitation cheese food. The package in that photo doesn’t even claim so, it just calls itself “singles.” I’m aware there’s a race to the bottom to make the cheapest shittiest substitute for just about anything in the US, but that’s not the discussion.
The discussion is something being American cheese doesn’t automatically mean it’s not cheese. Going back to my own analogy, you could argue the same about sausage if you held up a picture of sausage-style meat type food.
