the other 50% is mostly water. anerican cheese is basically just a hardened cheese sauce. it's cheese emulsified with water or something similar to make it melt easier. it's not some unholy amalgamation of horror. it's just melty cheese. and I'm not just looking that up on wikipedia. I've made it myself. it's not that hard. i promise you i didn't hide any cancer chemicals in there.
