And sometimes it isn’t even cheese at all (since "cheese" needs to contain at least 51% cheese, which American cheese sometimes doesn’t. It is then usually labeled as "cheese product" instead of "cheese")

Yah, the labeling laws are overly complicated in the favor of corporate bullshit. It hides the stuff that's little more than oil that's been thickened up and laced with flavoring behind the association with what was originally just cheese with some emulsifier.

I've got family that runs a dairy farm, and makes some cheese, the basic kind that's used to make old school American. There's about three grades of things that are allowed to have cheese on the label, with other words in fine print before they start saying "American slices", or "sandwich slices" and can't put cheese on there.

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
