Cheese

At the grocery store the other day, I bought a package of sandwich cheese for eighty-nine cents because I use cheese when I give the dogs pills and it needs to be soft-ish cheese (harder than cream cheese, softer than, say, cheddar). And I thought, what do dogs care how good the cheese is?

It turns out that eighty-nine cent cheese looks a lot like really soft orange plastic and not very much like food. Milk is the very last ingredient on the label. It isn't even really an ingredient. It comes after all the other ingredients, like an afterthought. Contains: Milk. Like they mixed it in a vat that earlier had milk in it or something.

Next time, I think I'm springing for at least the dollar twenty-nine cheese.
