#37–peterinda, or anyone else with an opinion or knowledge==whats wrong with any of those extra ingredients?

It would educate us all as these items are found in most of our foods.

Homemade food is great but often they won’t keep past 3 days even in the refrigerator and in keeping they separate or turn colors. Whats wrong with additives that stop this and cause no harm?

There should be a line between Church and Kitchen.

I always half to laf when people think eating anything with cheese is healthy, even when it’s not full of chemicals, and are always thankful that they think they are thankful that they are thankful they have anything grateful to eat.

The ingredients of pumpkin cheesecake in a typical home made receipt are graham, cinnamon, butter, brown sugar, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, cream, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
In Addition to these home made cheesecake ingredients there can be found in a manufactured cheesecake enriched wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin monitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, whey, soybean, cottonseed oils, carob bean gum, corn starch, sodium phosphat, guar gum, charrageenan, locus bean gum, conola oil, mono and oiglyceidis, soy lecitnin, beta carotene, polysorbate, artifical flovors, citric acid, sodium metabisulfite, sodium citrate, pectin, fd&c yellow and vitamim A.

GoatHerderEd — You say: “The best example I have come up with for strange ingredients is “Mechanically separated chicken” in Slim-Jims. yum! /// No, the best has got to be: “Parts.”

#4: “Peanuts are not tree nuts. They are legumes.” Hell Ya!!! Im allergic to tree nuts, if I got a dollar every time someone said “but it has peanuts in it” i would be a rich man. Education people! Get some

As far as the cheese cake goes; I’m sure it tastes damn good! maybe cheese cake is not the BEST name, but its close enough! The names Starbucks gives their drinks are not exactly what they are when compared to Italian cafes or definitions in the dictionary, but do most people care? No.

The best example I have come up with for strange ingredients is “Mechanically separated chicken” in Slim-Jims. yum!

>> I like my cheesecakes with at least 4% more
>>“Locust Bean Gum” than they put in…

Who doesn’t?? Anything made with galactomannan vegetable gum (or any high molecular weight hydrocolloidal polysaccharide, for that matter) has got to be good. The more, the better.

If you can’t trust Costco to supply technosynth Frankenfoods, who CAN you trust?

I don’t like Costco cheesecakes in general… I like my cheesecakes with at least 4% more “Locust Bean Gum” than they put in…

If that’s a of photo of your “cheesecake” it looks like nobody even touched it. If you’re throwing it away, you’re wasting “food.” Don’t you know there are children starving in China?

>>my wife makes real cheesecake, i imagine most
>>have never had such a thing. Real italian
>>cheesecake doesn’t have cream cheese.

And I imagine most Italians have never had Japanese cheesecake, made with cornstarch and eggs. An most Japanese have never had German cheesecake, made with quark cheese. And most Germans have never had Greek cheesecake, made with mizithra cheese.

We’re in America, so we eat American cheesecake.

Besides, that Italian stuff with “rah-goot” is too dry.
