Cheese is naturally high in milk fat. These low and no fat products
are, in my opinion something to be discarded. Maybe if it were all
you could get, eventually you might become accustomed to it.

Something with lots of other strong flavors might make it somewhat
acceptable. But macaroni itself is pretty mild tasting, so you
wouldn't like it with crap cheese, because that would be the
strongest flavor of the dish.
