| Topic | Why do people in America call ham canadian bacon? |

I don't get too upset when they call it Canadian bacon, given that they're weirdly proud of calling the plastic tasting hyper processed "cheese" slices "American cheese".When I was a kid in the early 80s, it was common to make fun of the poorer kids (the ones whose families were on WIC) by saying they got "government cheese". Fast forward to the late 90s when I'm working in a grocery store and had to learn to run a WIC transaction through the register. And I'm taught that Kraft American Singles (or Borden, or any other national brand) are actually "pasteurized processed cheese food" and don't qualify for WIC because they're technically not real cheese. WIC purchases have to be stuff like Kraft Deli Deluxe, you know, where the slices aren't individually wrapped, but are actual cheese. So those poor kids, who got made fun of, were in fact eating better than the rest of us, and we were too dumb to know it. --- "No one bad is ever truly bad. And no one good is ever truly good." ...
