Look, some people just can’t digest it. As you get older, your ability to process mac’n’cheese without dire intestinal consequences drops off substantially. The pros just simply aren’t worth the cons, not by a long shot.
Lactose intolerance is more common than lactose tolerance globally. In the unites states, something like 1 in 3 people are lactose intolerant.
It’s largely genetic. Lactose tolerance can be traced to nomadic tribes that kept milk producing animals as a food source, adapting to tolerate lactose in their diet over time.
Sure, but I figured that lactose intolerance would typically manifest before the age of, say, 20. I didn’t realize that people could become lactose intolerant as seniors.
Not the Mac n cheese for the last like 20+ years. It used to use real cheese and really did taste better. I know the internet got all uppity against kraft a while back, claiming they started making the noodle portion worse somewhere around 2016 or something, but that’s nothing compared to the big taste difference that happened when they stopped using real cheese.
They made the right call. Macaroni and cheese is definitely that good.

Doesn’t stop me tho
that doesn’t make it not good though.
Note “Doesn’t stop me tho”
As you get older, you develop taste and stop eating garbage.
There are varieties of mac’n’cheese other than Kraft
Lmao gourmet mac n’ cheese 😍
Oven baked Mac and cheese with bread crumb topping really is that good
Huh, I didn’t know about this. What ingredient(s) cause(s) the problem?
Lactose
Does everyone become lactose intolerant with age?

But I didn’t know it happened with age
Of course it is with age. No mammals are born lactose intolerant. We drink milk as infants.
Almost universally, all adult mammals become lactose intolerant. We humans are lucky for those of us who tolerant.

Make it yourself, obviously ready made meals are gonna taste bad if they are cheap (which they are)
Sorry what? You know you can make Mac and cheese from scratch right? It’s not too difficult.
Are you telling me that simply dumping the contents of a cardboard box into some hot water is not the best way to cook a meal? I’m shocked
It gets even better though, 'cos you can get all deviant and start adding to the recipe with a few bits of mushroom, bacon or maybe even chorizo
Bell peppers, salami and smoked chili powder
