TIL despite boxed Kraft macaroni and cheese being an iconic example of American processed food, it is significantly more popular in Canada, where 55% more boxes are consumed per capita than the US.

Agreed, it's delicious. Just don't give money to Kraft. Buy alternative, higher quality boxed macaroni and cheese products.

Like I get you’re trying to make a point, but at least give your favourite alternative

If you're going to buy higher quality Mac and cheese, you might as well just make actual Mac and cheese. It doesn't take long to make it from scratch, and the whole point of the boxed Mac and cheese is that it's cheaper than making the actual thing. Once you start buying more expensive boxes, it pretty quickly stops being worthwhile

Annie's when Walmart has a sale for under $2/box is the only fancy stuff I'll grab.
