extruded plastic masquerading as a dairy-like substance

I assume that you're referring to Kraft singles, or "American" cheese: It's just cheese, dude; mixed with a chemical (sodium citrate) to help it bind to water. The FDA refuses to allow it to be called cheese, due to the percentages involved (it's literally mostly water). Regardless, no plastic after you take the wrapper off.

The Montreal-based chemist/YouTuber NileBlue made American cheese recently in a video.

Fair enough. Took me a while to convince my buddies otherwise (judge me all you want, American makes great grilled cheese)

As a connoisseur, if you can call it that, of St Louis-style Provel, I concur.
