I am sad to report that an American icon has passed away at the age of 74. Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, in the little blue & orange box, passed away yesterday. Sadly, M&C was injured by a mob of mothers demanding less white flour, more whole grains and that Kraft stop adding whatever addictive drug that makes kids everywhere insist on ONLY Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and no substitute. It passed away from its injuries en route to the hospital. While there are rumors that M&C was trying to get healthier, children everywhere still have elevated blood sugar from all the white flour they have eaten during its reign as the King of dinner.
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese was introduced into the world, and onto the dinner plates of children everywhere, in 1937 and has served as comfort food to millions of people. During its lifetime it has served as an unprecedented King in the dinner menu of families. That little blue box serves as an icon of carefree childhood to most Americans. During recent years, however, it has faced a bit of a decline as Americans are starting to realize that their diet of white flour & processed foods must change or they will face extinction. The mob mentality of parents uniting for the health of their children led to its demise.
M&C was friendly and outgoing and was often seen in the company of hot dogs, meatloaf and canned peas--all of whom are mourning the loss of their lifelong friend. While M&C will never be replaced in the hearts of children and adults everywhere who have swooned with happiness upon seeing a delightful pile of orange noodles on their plates, it will be replaced on dinner plates with whole grains and real dairy cheese.
Good bye, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, you are gone...but never forgotten.
