I had grill cheese today for lunch..... *Good Stuff*
Answer me this.....
As I was sitting around while the stove heated up I had an urge to read the package of cheese. In the Nutritional Facts it says that there is a half cup of milk in a single peice of cheese..... :eek: How in gods name do you get a half cup of milk into a single peice of cheese????

Ancient Chinese secret...
It probably means either of two things:
1. The cheese contains about the same nutrients as a half cup of milk
2. Half a cup of milk was used in making the cheese
Or it could just be total marketing BS.
It's becouse when it's made into cheese it's not in the state we're used to seeing it in.
Boring cheese facts
Yeah, it's probably concentrated milk. Or.. something. I'd go with number one, please.
Maybe it's powdered milk? (gross ****)
Slightly off topic..but has anyone ever had warm powdered milk? Now THAT'S gross. I remember years ago at my grandma's she had a pitcher of powdered milk she hadn't chilled properly and all of us kids had a glass. To this day I fight nausea thinking about that. :chuck:
Powdered milk! Its like the **** in macaroni and cheese thats not gross...Dont they remove the whey protien?
They run the milk through WinZip before they install it in the cheese. :D
Because:
1 oz. cheddar cheese contains 10.4 g. water
1/2 c. whole milk (3.5% fat) contains 106.65 g. water

You're my hero, airhead. There goes the powdered milk theroy... (that is really disgusting. almost as bad as that fiber stuff some people drink for, what else? extra fiber.)
I find it immensely funny to find certain common products and do a bit of quickie research into their nutrition labels... NesQuik strawberry milk stuff? Well, serving size of powder is 27 grams, 26 grams is sugar. Most of the 'fortified vitamin' stuff and 'helps build strong bones' things is dependent on the addition of the milk....
Heinz Ketchup. I literally read this five minutes ago. 17g serving, 4g sugars. 1/4 glucose? Who knows.
Damn! My powdered milk theory is gone....
I am no more Einstein.....
What about it being something like goats milk? They never say what KIND of milk it is....
Quote:
Most cheese is made from cow's milk, because it is most abundant, but cheese is produced in every culture where animals are milked, be they goats, sheep, camels, asses, mares, buffalo or reindeer.
