- Cheese sales in the United States have skyrocketed since the 1970s, even as consumption in other dairy categories have either fallen or stagnated. The rise of foods like pizza play a role, but the industry has found many, many other ways to integrate cheese into the American diet.

I just found out that "American cheese" and "processed cheese" are the exact same thing.
They have even worse "cheese", it is a cheese flavoured viscous fluid squeezed out of plastic containers with nozzles on.
When I moved to the USA I was surprised that they wanted to associate processed cheese with the name of their country. They might as well call Spam "American Pork".

@@constancecastel7252
Well a lot of Americans also prefer to buy high quality produce. For example I never buy groceries at Walmart, I only prefer to buy groceries at Whole Foods, where they only sell groceries that are high quality, ecological, natural and free from any additives and hormones. Sure, it’s more expensive, but well worth it. So no I still don’t buy that argument, the comments criticizing American produce are really dumb.
And the europes think they're cheese is any better? Its flavorless, just like their beverages. Mexican cheese forever, coutija is life.

“Consumer demand is actually wanting processed cheese 30% more in 2020”
Y’all just gonna avoid that processed cheese is cheap and that everyone lost their jobs? No? Just an industry win? That’s about right…
A block of normal cheese is like $3.49, lol. A pouch of a Kraft Single "Cheese Product" isn't all that cheaper. People should be focused on how their diet will affect them in the long term. Is saving $1 on "cheese" worth it in exchange for colon/stomach cancer 25 years from now? Just a thought.

sal s This exactly. After reading the title, I thought : Yeah they might eat a lot, but se eat better quality cheese (am French). Turns out we are on top at 57lbs per capita... America has a long way to go in cheese consumption
Not when you Americanos just add it on top of what you was already eating. So you become even more fat than you already are. Here in Denmark cheese is not a new thing that add more calories to our diet. It has been in the diet for decades. You in the USA are just getting extremely fat by eating more of it.
@@socrates_the_great6209 Lmao
The tittle is totally relevant and accurate just because America don't eat the most cheese doesn't mean that cheese wasn't on a rise in consumption in america
I've heard that it's hard to buy cheese in the US and it's pretty expensive
Pre-shredded cheese contains an additive that helps prevent the cheese strands from sticking and clumping together. It also interferes with the melting process... so if you want to melt your cheese, don't buy pre-shredded cheese. Buy a block and take an extra 20 seconds out of your day to shred it yourself. Like seriously, it doesn't take that long
Good info sir
I've only bought preshredded cheese once. It seemed dried out to me, like it had be left out on a counter for a couple of hours. Never again. Block cheese simply tastes better.
Next thing youll try to do is take away my plastic-wrapped-per-slice convenience! You think I have the time to slice cheese????
@@cookiebun95 Shredded cheeses are usually covered in potato starch, that's likely what caused the odd texture and the lack of meltability.
@@SuWoopSparrow The plastic wrap at least doesn't interfere with the meltability of the cheese, so that's more than likely here to stay.
“Technology to safely transport real cheese didnt exist”
Europe: 👀
Europe: Roll the individual wheels by hand if you have to!
Well, before refridgeration it actually didn't. You can transport cheese in areas with temperatures below 20 degrees C safely. For southern US that's not possible.
But this wasn't done on long distance, diary never was a long distance trade.
This is why, each area made it's own cheese. Cause if you wanted to have some, you had to produce it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but processed cheeses like Cheese Sauce and Kraft American Singles were only the beginning for me. If you really like them, you'll eventually try real cheese. Once you do, that is when the exponential curve of cheese consumption truly begins.

No, you can't just claim a food just like that lol. Pizza is from Naples Italy, and Cheddar cheese is of course from Cheddar, UK.
Exactly why they call it American Cheddar when it is the American kind. They claim everything good and pretend they made it.
@@Grigsy the fact is, of those 16 million Americans who claim to be Italian-American, 99% of them have never been to Italy nor speak the language nor have a clue about the country's actual gastronomy.
Agreed, I too thought this was odd referring to cheddar as an American-style cheese. However, even in Canada Hawaiian pizza is referred to as Hawaiian, despite being first invented in Toronto.
It’s actually labeled as “processed cheese food product”.... you know, what most Americans believe is actual cheese! And it comes in a plastic wrapper!
@@christinafidance340 if your talking about american cheese like substance it's technically not a cheese because the whey is mixed back in for increased vitamin and nutrition as well as increased stability
Growing up in the UK, we always call the American "cheese" slices "plastic cheese". I only ever see it at American style fast food restaurants. You can buy it in the supermarket, but I don't think many people do. Why use that when we have a huge variety of cheddar which can easily be sliced from the block?

@@holger_p AMERICANS don't care...
Kinda funny to know that British people make fun of American cheese.
Just across the channel, cheddar is what is considered cheap and "plastic cheese" by civilised people.
The reason for the increase in consumption of cheese and reduction in milk is all about the price for milk/gallon and the fact that cheese tends to add 'body' to the foods it is added to. Cheese also acts as a glue to hold loose foods together more readily.
TLDR: first pizza, then hamburgers, then processed foods gave to the rise of cheese consumption in the US.
get pizza at restaurants
You sure about that?
I think it was the AMA that stated that "fat" was bad for you.
Thus the dairy association was encouraged to remove the fat introducing 2%, 1%, skim milk ( blech )....
But now the dairy farmers had a problem what to do with all that fat that was removed ....

- This is not surprising. Europeans and those of European descent have a long tradition of dairy farming and dairy consumption.
@Daksh Jhamb lol yes...if Americans ate the same quantities of their unhealthy cheese, we'll have to roll them around..
It says that Denmark is at the top and the US is at 15. but do they take in the account of how much cheese is actually used? Denmark has a population of 5.8 million people, the US has a population of over 330 million people. So if you take the total weight of cheese that the people of Denmark eat, it is around 360 millions pounds. If you take the population of American and the average amount we would eat is 12.21 billion pounds. That is nearly 38 times more cheese consumed by Americans than what it is in Denmark.
Martin Allen So what ? The point of per capita data is indeed to compare. Absolute numbers are meaningless
@@Apqmwnzz 👉 - .
Salty Europeans. Who even cares
I would love to see a video on the ‘American diet’ from CNBC.
Isn’t this it?
There are many immigrants and some people eat at restaurants all the time. Dome of those restaurant only person eat a variety od ethnic foods, like Sushi. There are mire than 3 million vegetarians, one million of those are vegans. When you have a population of over 300 million and a lot of food options pinpointing what they eat is hard. Even though the obesity rate is high, not all of it is from fast food. You can get fat from homemade food just as easily. It's usually more nutritious. A homemade pie has way more calories than a McPie.
Space Cadet It definitely is part of the diet
Origami and Cats then why wasn’t there an obesity issue before processed food became a significant part of the average persons daily diet. Food cooked from scratch is made from real food and the body knows what to do with it and when to stop eating. Exercise is part but you can’t exercise your way out of a processed food diet.
People used to eat the fattening equivalent to fast food. It was only in the 80s there startwd to be a negative association with sugar and fat. It's when they changed the names of popular food. Sugar Frosted Flakes became Frosted Flakes. Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC. That's when sedentary activities that were worth doing began too. Video games, computers and 200 channels on TV. Prior to that people ate what they wanted in the quantity they.wanted but recreational activities involved going somewhere and doing something. I'm an old(ish) person and my free time involves lazy technology stuff, like what I am doing right now. Thankfully I do Origami, otherwise I would be texting and doing online stuff.
Huh, odd that cheese went up when so many people have issues digesting it, like lactose intolerance, IBS, etc. I'm extremely intolerant to dairy, so I mostly use the Daiya shreds, and they've massively improved their recipe since I started eating there stuff about 8 years ago.
Well... it's complicated... along that consuming lots of cheese can also be as dangerous as not consuming much of it. As it can be counteracted with greens and apple cider vinegar.
I'm lactose intolerant but I can eat cheese fine as long as it's semisoft or hard cheese. Aged cheese doesn't contain much lactose.
most lactose intolerant people can eat cheese
It's simply a quantity over quality thing.
Caseine addiction is real, fat addiction is real, and salt addiction is real. Cheese has high amounts of all 3 of these, so if you push it to people by, let's say, adding cheese to every popular dish and even mandating it on some foods in order for them to be called what they are, you create a widespread addiction and demand, allowing you to sell more of an inferior product.
Bacon and other (high fat and salt) processed meats are very much the same: while meat in general is on the decline, bacon and pepperoni still sell strong because people are addicted, despite many places using very low quality.
My father is a man who grew up on a farm, always lived away from fast-food joints, never travelled a lot... His favourite lunch sandwich isn't some burger with lots of cheese and bacon and ketchup, it's leftover dinner meat (steak, chicken, porkchops) with gravy or scrambled egg on unsalted butter. That man has more energy and less health issues than most people my age or younger.
Americans are the masters of exploiting addiction, which unfortunately is taking over the world, along with all the obesity and health issues.
To Candisa:
You are very accurate about these “addictive” bad foods and how they increases obesity and all the pervasive obesity diseases
Fat doesn’t make you fat. Bad carbs do especially sugar. Also excess sodium will not do much. Bacon isn’t bad for you it’s the nitrites that are carcinogenic. Just eat what people are 500 years ago instead of ultra processed garbage and don’t snack all day and you’ll live to 100.
You spelled casein wrong.

😂🙃
Cheese contains casein, a dairy protein that releases casomorphins & is extremely addictive because it is a cow hormone used to get the calf to drink the milk. another reason to go vegan I guess
Individually wrapped singles are NOT cheese. They say processed "cheese food" right on the label. True American cheese is sliced and sealed in a usually metallic wrap but never individually wrapped (and usually at least double the price).
@@RA-kk6yw thats not even a reason just because something tastes good you don't eat it😂
Fun fact, the labeling on Kraft Singles says "Cheese Product" instead of "Cheese". Legally, they aren't allowed to put "cheese" anywhere on the package since the dairy content of the food isn't high enough to be legally considered "cheese".
Cant put it anywhere? And yet they do put it on the package, right before the word product? Why haven’t you reported them to the fda yet?

America does have it's own cheese, many of them. Colby, Brick, Jack, Monterey, Monteray jack, colby jack, cream cheese, Humboldt fog, muenster, teleme, red hawk, kunik, pepper jack, bergenost, etc. All cheeses originally from the USA. America has a lot if cheese not exported and eaten domestically.

There's been a similar trend in Finland as well. Today, only the elderly and young children actively drink milk, while cheese has become very popular since the 80's and 90's. The Nordic countries have always had a high use of milk, but cheese has been growing in popularity.
Why was this even a question? We love cheese because it's awesome and tastes amazing. /explanation
For those who are familiar with the metric system:
On screen at 0:06: "Cheese consumption: (1975): 6 kg per person // (2010): 17.24 kg per person"
At 0:14: "Consumption of fluid milk plummeted from 112 kilograms per person in 1975 to 66 kilograms per person in 2018."
At 0:24:"But at the same time, cheese grew from just over 6 kilograms in 1975 to about 17 kilograms in 2018. Plus an extra kilo of cottage cheese, which, let's be honest, is really a separate category altogether"
At 1:22:"Americans at 500 grams of mozzarella per person in 1970 and 5.5 kilograms in 2018, making it the most popular single variety of cheese in America."
At 7:10:"For example, Industry Research Group IRI told CNBC that processed cheeses such as slices and spreads sold in the cheese section of the grocery store daily aisle have seen sales decline nearly 18 percent since 1995, from three-point-nine-five kilograms per person that year to three-point-two-one kilograms in 2018."
At 17:37:"Back in 2014, the International Dairy Foods Association found the French ate 25.86 kilograms of cheese per year, compared with just 15 kilograms per person in the United States."

Kraft is a poor standard when it comes to American cheese.

Kraft is a multinational group, so we have processed Kraft cheese in slices in Italy too and it's colled Sottilette, but what really struck me in this video is that American processed craft cheese has got 17 ingredients while the basic Sottilette Originali Kraft they sell in Italy I only counted 8 ingredients! Plus they guarantee Sottilette as gluten free, preservative free, polifosfate free product and they are made out of 60% emmenthal and 40% processed cheese, so no cheddar! Also, no D 3 or any colorings added! I really wonder if there's a kind of Kraft processed cheese on american market that resembles what I just described, or is it just separate standard they have toward European market?
A lot of American products have ingredients that are banned in Europe. A lot of American food is more chemical than actual food.
It may just differ in rules, what has to be declared, and what not. And the expectations of the consumer are differently. If they like their cheese more yellow, they get it yello, if the like it with Vitamin, they get the Vitamin. It's the stupid consumer, but the stupid consumer could have got some brainwash or drill before.

It is quite funny that just recently during lockdowns American dairy farmers were seen pouting way milk citing low demands from restaurants, then I asked myself why did they not choose to keep the milk and convert it to cheese that can be kept in storage for months or years to age and become superior more valuable product
Best cheese is made in Europe particularly in Italy and France
Cheese is freakin delicious.. Hard to imagine life without it
As a Malaysian, we can go whole year without eating cheese. It is just not a necessity here. But rice, we can hardly go one day without rice 😊
In Europe its the irish potatoes, in America it includes the pizza and in Southern and eastern African it is the white maize or corn.
Most Asian countries, it's the same.
someone please count how many times the narrator says“cheese”
at least 3
That's such a cheesy thing to do
Time to write some code to find it out.
How many picture did the narrator take ????????
I think I really need from you. I counted, it was 82 times.
no mention of negative impact on health, the environment and the animal cruelty in the dairy industry.
First most of farms are family owned
Also stop guilting people into not eating any animal products
I know animals die for meat but it’s fast death bro and it’s not murder
Stop using words you don’t know how to use
@@usedtoberyanpoopnownormal8822 killing animals for their town is pretty messed up. Also, the family farm is a myth, most of our food comes from huge mechanized farms nowadays. They may be privately held by individuals instead of corporations, but they aren't the homestead farms most people think of when they think of family farm, they're much more industrialized like an industrial factory, but for food rather than plaatics
What the vegans never tell you is that replacing the equivalent amount of calories provided by meat with plants would actually be worse for the planet.
Our species only maintains the scale of agriculture we do now thanks to massive amounts of fertilizer. Fertilizer comes from two places: Strip mined out of Wet lands in the form of phosphates or COW MANUER.
So, if everyone were to go Vegan, not only would we still need an industrial sized population of cows; but we would also have to further destroy the land to mine phosphates for Fertilizer. And that's to say nothing of amount of farmland we would need to add.
Sorry Vegans. Veganism isn't as great as you think it is.
TalanSouthway sorry??? I see many family farms
I have never seen a industrial farm in person
They are real ya knuckle head I’ve seen many and almost everywhere
Alejandro Rojas thanks for the back up
Title:Why Americans Eat so much cheese
France and Italy:Am I a joke to you?
I worked at a Subway in Germany and the customers would always say they wanted guoda when they meant they wanted sliced cheese instead of cream cheese, I would always tell them the package in which it came only sad "cheese". not what type it was
I work at an artisan cheese shop like the one shown in the video. Once you eat real cheese, you'll be able to taste the difference between that and processed cheese, like kraft. Fancy cheese may be expensive, but it's so worth it for a treat if you have the money.
This is not the time for things like this we should talk on how the get incomes in this period of the pandemic
I used to see forex as a side income but it has proven to be a major source of my income ever since I came across MR Jason, his experience of the forex market is unrivaled.
Individually wrapped singles are NOT cheese. They say processed "cheese food" right on the label. True American cheese is sliced and sealed in a usually metallic wrap but never individually wrapped (and usually at least double the price).
@@jackwilliams6578 Stupid bot selling scams
"American style cheese varieties such as Cheddar" ergh I think the people of Cheddar, England might beg to differ with this statement
and American Mozzarella. Lol
Remove the word 'cheese' from the title and it suddenly becomes way more accurate.
Processed cheese prices have skyrocketed compared to cheese varieties that compete in the deli section of the grocery store. It's strictly greed on the unique brands that are boosting inflated prices, therefore, competitors will pounce on the opportunity to take market share.
CNBC: americans eat a lot of cheese
Me: *laughs in french*
Me laughs in Dutch.
me: laughs even louder in American!
Me circulating hands in Italian
Only White European American. For Asian Americans RICE is still the king.
I know your brie is better, but clearly you have no idea about food portion sizes in america... people eat their heart out here
Q: Why Americans eat so much cheese?
A: 17:34 We don't
MSM in a nutshell, lmao.
cerberus65 lmfao
Summerdayz msm?
@@abbad707 Mainstream media.
I appreciated this video.
The main difference between processed and normal cheeses is just preservatives and sodium citrate. Hard cheeses tend to "break" when they melt with milkfat separating from the proteins. Sodium citrate's only purpose is to emulsify and keep that from happening
Two other reasons processed cheese may not be doing well: It doesn't actually taste very good when compared to cheese of a similar flavor profile and the packaging is awful. My spouse likes to use it for a nostolgia snack and finding processed cheese where each slice is not individually wrapped in non-recyclable plastic is a huge pain. I realize dairy in general is not super eco-friendly, but it's certainly helping no one's case to have forty individual sheets of plastic that have to just get... Thrown out...
I personally don't like shredded cheese very much, it doesn't melt as easily as cheese grated at home and doesn't incorporate to sauces or soups as easily.
Who cares about single-use plastics? China and India's emissions absolutely trump any conservatism measure you might take. You are making no difference to the world. The only reason I could see where this would be a valid concern is if you're concerned about micro-plastics, which are very real and should be avoided, if you can.
@@bigboat8329 I mean, I would think my comment makes it clear that I care about single use plastics.
Governmental and industrial plastics are definitely a larger concern than individual use, but I am concerned about micro-plastics.
I don't like that any trash I am forced to purchase because big companies can't be bothered to make simple changes means my soil and my groundwater become contaminated with microplastics that we know have detrimental effects on the microbiomes which then trickle up the food chain.
Your comment seems unnecessarily hostile when my observation is merely a personal observation.
As an Italian, I must say, REAL Italian pizza does NOT have a half pound of cheese per slice. American made pizza (most of it) is not only gross to me, but a lot of the american made Italian food is downright insulting.
This guy talked about how it's "nomenclature" and then begins to describe the ways in which the cheese is not authentic. "Longer shelf life," "science behind it allows it to melt just beautifully." And they put harmful ingredients or chemicals as a result of these things.
As a french , I am both suprised and happy that americans eat classic/old fashion cheese too.
I would be happy to eat one of yours one day. Just a tip: Always go for raw milk cheeses, they are the best, from far.
I never thought this would be so interesting. Must watch it all now.
"traditional American cheeses like Cheddar". Ahh yes the traditional American cheese first created in the UK and named after it's birthplace Cheddar (in the UK)
In the village of Cheddar Somerset.
You know something doesn't have to be originally from that place for it to be an important food or cultural item. Like Cheddar is an American food too because Americans eat it a lot.
@@adanactnomew7085 These are the same people that claimed an Indian dish as their national food lmfao they're being purposefully obtuse.
@@Michiiru Whats wrong with making chcicken Tikka Masala a national dish if it's popular in that country? ( It's also not actually like an official dish just some foreign secretary said it was)
@@adanactnomew7085 Nothing is wrong with it, just like there's nothing wrong with Americans claiming cheddar. Especially given that cheddar in America is not the exact same as cheddar in the UK.
From someone who had the privilage at eating a real cheese being made at my grandparents´s home I cannot eat "American" cheese. It´s garbage.
Rumor has it that a burger joint in the “Old Louisville” neighborhood were the first place to put cheese on a burger 🍔
Europeans are like: "This is not cheese .
Brazilians are like : "Hold my catupiry".
I love how passionate the guy being interviewed is about cheese.
As a European I don't understand why people'd want to eat processed cheese. And the shelf life argument is just bologna. Cheese lasts for weeks if not months. If you don't use it within a month, why are you buying it? Mozzarella lasts for nearly a month!
Sliced cheese lasts a month+! That's why cheese was invented, to store calories and make it last!
I used to love Kraft processed cheese but just not is Tasty's I remember I opted for deli cheese even though it just cost a little bit more
"Why americans eat so much plastic cheese"
America does have it's own cheese, many of them. Colby, Brick, Jack, Monterey, Monteray jack, colby jack, cream cheese, Humboldt fog, muenster, teleme, red hawk, kunik, pepper jack, bergenost, etc. All cheeses originally from the USA. America has a lot if cheese not exported and eaten domestically.
@@greenmachine5600 i don't doubt that America has its own cheese. I am just stating that it's garbage.
milk fat and grease... no cheese there
@@stefanolissi5561
You can get authentic and organic cheese as well buddy. Walmart Great value cheddar isn’t the only cheese sort you can buy, we have a lot of high quality produce as well. It depends on the store and brand...
@@stefanolissi5561 We still have some good small farmers.. but the majority of the "cheese" in American grocery stores is an abomination of science.
I audibly chuckled once I heard the phrase "cheese historian"... then i see the comments and am so glad I am not too childish haha
Someone needs to fix the title to "cheeselike products"
When the milk gets to old to sell as milk you simply turn it into cheese which gives it a much longer shelf life. Since the government has subsidized the over production of milk for so many years it has made cheese dirt cheap. Instead of giving the cheese away to consumers it was a way to promote the growth of restaurants. Pizza is popular here because the government has a lot to do with the popularity of pizza in the US.
Cheese has a component that releases seratonin like some drugs, and as such can be addictive.

Yeah 🥺😞 it sucks.
That explains my withdrawal symptoms when I skip my breakfast cheese fix.
A lot of vegans find it to be the hardest thing to give up. I did it by switching to Cheetos, and then tapering off. The Cheetos had the flavor and a little bit of actual cheese.
@@someguy2135 Why?
Americans: Eat at average 2 pizzas and 2 burgers a week.
Result: More than 50% is fat.
US Doctors: Blame cheese.
I’m a dentist….the number one way to prevent tartar is to floss daily regardless of toothpaste. Most people don’t floss or don’t do it right and about 90% of dental problems are related to lack of flossing.
The reason is WEED ... cheese taste great when you were hungry after smoking weed
Top-tier ingredient for curing the munchies that's for damn sure!
If that is the case, expect a 'Snoop Dogg' branded cheese soon...
