Stop buying shit cheese.

There's cheese and then there's cheese. For comfort food, grilled Kraft American cheese can't be beat. OTOH, I wouldn't use American slices for Welsh Rarebit, but Kraft shredded sharp cheddar will work. I use mozzarella instead of cheese curds in my poutine, and a mix of mozarella, parmesan, provelone, asiago, and cheddar on my pizza. Colby and pepper jack for munching with crackers.


Yes. It can be beat. That stuff is shit. Even the deli delux style is better and melts just as well.

My momma used Kraft Singles, I have always used them, my daughter-in-law uses them. It's traditional. Just like Kraft Dinner. Actually, if my memory doesn't play me false, Kraft Dinner was my first independent cooking as a kid, boiling the macaroni, measuring the butter and milk, stirring in the orange cheese powder.

Maybe not real. Maybe equally flakey, but newer issues. How about e-cigarettes? 12 deaths nationwide! Sort of makes traffic safety and drive-by shootings fade right into the background! Almost as much a public health issue as meteor strikes!

Recently, I helped an elderly neighbor who developed symptoms of pneumonia from being pushed into taking the pneumonia vaccine.

I have to point out that there is no pneumonia vaccine as pneumonia is a physical response to physical disruption to the lungs. You can literally get dust pneumonia.

Vaccines leave the body a little vulnerable for a while after usage so it makes the body less capable of helping itself for a bit. Pneumonia can be from mucus build up, and in elderly patients they are less capable of clearing it, and when recovering from a vaccine, are even less so.

The doctors were right (within reason) to use a vaccine to treat a lung-based disease on a patient who was particularly vulnerable to pneumonia, it's just unfortunate that they got it in the small recovery window.

In other words, she should have been smarter about refusing the vaccine pushed by a physician padding a routine Medicare Wellness visit to $750. BTW, her chest xray from last week (for routine physical) is clear. She now has a physician (medical consortium, non-university) who is not a pusher of unnecessary medications and vaccines, unlike her previous doc.

Both are political footballs. One sure way of detecting spin in the news is name-calling, and terms like "antivaxxers" and "climate deniers" make me very suspicious.

My objections to the push for magical adult vaccines for flu, pneumonia, whatever, are personal, my first patient during my internship was paralyzed with Guillan-Barre Syndrome from the flu vaccine. Recently, I helped an elderly neighbor who developed symptoms of pneumonia from being pushed into taking the pneumonia vaccine. The reasons for taking adult vaccines are trivial, and the consequences can be considerably worse than the chances of actually getting a severe case of flu, pneumonia, etc.

Climate change: "Global Warming" is clearly a myth, a measured increase of 0.4F in a century, in some places (other places have gotten colder) may be statistically significant, but unlikely to be real-world important. This seems borne out by activists now pushing "Climate Change" rather than "Global Warming". Fighting pollution might be a good idea. Greenhouse gasses (mostly from volcanoes and ruminant methane, a trivial amount man-made) may actually help ameliorate the severity of the coming Maunder Minimum mini-Ice-Age predicted in the next 15 years.

People need to do critical thinking, and not jump on the latest politically motivated bandwagon. What's advertised as good for politicians or drug companies may not necessarily be sensible for the rest of us.
