Did I say white or yellow cheese?

Because my eyes see that I said white CHEDDAR. Clean your eyeglasses.

I have access to any number of very good cheese stores, so
I don't know where you got the idea we don't have all kinds of
cheeses in different colors.

Unless you were confused by reading the word cheese when the
word cheddar was mentioned.

We were discussing CHEDDAR. It comes in yellow or white.
Perhaps even other colors, but predominantly yellow or white.

No. Are you misreading?

Wandering the flour aisle at the grocery store a short while ago I did
not see a single brand / package of flour that just said "flour" or one
that did not clearly indicate bleached or unbleached on the front label.

So who here knew before this thread about arsenic in chicken? If
one doesn't know, how can one make a good choice? And why should
products that contain harmful ingredients be on our shelves in the
first place?
