Originally, processed cheese was made from dried, un-sellable chese-rinds 
collected from public houses.  They were boiled, soaked in gasolene, 
irradiated with plutonium, or whatever else had to be done in order to end 
up with the yellowy, salty snot currently known as "processed cheese".

Nowadays, I believe the palate of the people has been carefully cultured 
to prefer synthetic food enriched with artificial flavour, so they no 
doubt start with the raw dairy produce and make the "processed cheese" 
directly, instead of collecting the scraping off customers plates in 
low-rent restaurants.  (Not that you can actually tell from the taste, 
mind you.)

I like all sorts of cheese, but my real favourites are Gorgonzola and 
Stilton (white or blue).  But I find Danish Blue somewhat repulsive.
