I'm not a mac & cheese fan so the powdered orange cheese just gets an "ew" from me. I try to avoid "cheese food products". I suspect I might like many of the fancy cheeses but I haven't had much opportunity to sample. I lead a middle of the road life as it pertains to cheese.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do you wear the cheese, or does the cheese wear you?

Every so often, I crave mac and cheese (not the baked version, I've never much liked that) and then I make some (gourmet or blue box, ) eat a few bites and am over it. When my mom was in school in my preteen years, tuesday and thursday nights were mac&cheese because that was all I could cook at the time (my brother was worse, and dad can't really cook anything but jarred sauce and spaghetti and burritos and salad, and we were hungry before he got home.) I finally learned to cook more after a couple years of that. Think I had my lifetime supply of it.
Sorta like how I get nostalgic for ramen with tuna and mixed frozen veg (corn, carrot and peas) with green can parma. It was camping food. When rarely I make it (I haven't bought ramen in years) I can still smell the bluet gas. But a couple bites in, and I am done.
I love cheese. It does not love me. But I allow myself a couple everything crackers with a good cheese from TJs now and then. It feeds the need.

Depends on how much exercise I get.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There is one good brand of packaged vegan cheese -- Daiya. It's pretty difficult to find, though. I've also make some homemade vegan cheeses that were pretty good -- nacho cheese sauce is pretty easy, actually. I've seen a recipe for a vegan goat cheese that's supposed to be really good, but I haven't tried it yet. It had some weird ingredient, a seaweed extract or something, that I couldn't find except by really pricey internet order.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
My love of real cheese?
The texture.
The texture of the canned orange stuff being somewhat coarser than the stuff in the packets in the mac & cheese boxes is a good thing. I can't explain why, but it is.
Hey Tep! I found something for your nitpicky, editorial soul.
That's something I've been tempted to do So. Many. Times.
