That means it's cheddar cheese in which the protein and nutrient rich whey has been mixed back in. That means it melts smoothly and has less fat and more protein per gram than regular cheese.

BoingBoing pays me a living wage and actually demands that I produce quality work that is as accurate as possible. LiveStrong pays writers a couple cents a word and demands they churn out as much material as possible, regardless of accuracy, or where it's being cribbed from, as long as it's going to get them hits in a search engine.  From my perspective, here’s the biggest difference.

Try my honesty. I take a lot of drugs. Life is shit without them. I probably owe a lot of what I have managed to do to my dependence on certain drugs. Actually I know I do. Drugs are a great tool when carefully used. Feel motivated? Or do you feel like sending me to a treatment center to detox until I tell you what you want to hear about reality. Now the whole thing about making people feel like they can just "overcome" cancer... that is pretty shitty IMO. Ok. Try my honesty. I take a lot of drugs. Life is shit without them.
