Technically Walter Gerber and Fritz Stettler invented the first processed cheese in Switzerland in 1911 by heating cheese up and mixing in sodium citrate. Kraft patented the process in the USA in 1916. The term "American Cheese" was later coined to refer to any processed cheese.
The American Cheese Wikipedia page is poorly written with mostly redundant information from other Wikipedia pages... it's just a commonly used word to refer to processed cheese and marketing term.
The USA newspapers are credited with removing letters. It used to cost per letter, so people started removing whatever they could.
Is this like the most Michelin stars mostly go to French restaurants because they're French?
Isn't it a birds and the bees story translated through a religious conservative lense... The forbidden fruit is sex.
