\"1338997847_6d922cf6c7\"<\/a>Dear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have a pretty serious addiction to cheese flavor. Cheez-its, Cheese Nips, Cheetos, Cheese Goldfish Crackers, anything yellow and labeled “Cheese” really. Actual cheese is ok, but the flavored stuff is what gets me. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My question is: what exactly do they use to make that flavor? Also, I’m assuming it’s nutritious, can you confirm that?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yours Truly,
\nI’m Eating Cheez-Its right now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nDear I’m Eating,
\nI’m sorry, I cannot confirm that cheese flavor is nutritious. It’s all relative though, right? General Mills make Fruit Loops fortified with Calcium and Fiber so it can be called nutritious. I’m not sure how great of shape you’d be in if you substituted cereal for any natural sources of calcium and fiber. I sort of did that in college, but not on purpose. And instead of fortified cereal I ate Mr Goodbars and Cool Ranch Doritos. I usually slept about 15 hours a day, if that’s any indication of healthfulness. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nInterestingly, the ingredients used to make flavor powder are not readily available on the internet. This make me a little suspicious. It also makes me tired, because I scrolled through about 50 pages of Google searches. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nMy non-medical recommendation is to try and curb your addiction in favor of moderation. Unfortunately I know all too well how difficult moderation is…I’m more of a saturation-til-you-want-to-barf-at-the-sight-of-it kind of person. But you can always try. And keep trying. And then try again. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSincerely,
\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
