I just made macaroni and cheese. It's yellow.
Why is it yellow? What makes it that way?

2. I guess that would explain the pepper taste, too. |

4. Hi there, my dear Floog! |
|
It's yellow because the cheddar cheese is colored, artificially...
One of my most favorite dishes...

and he sent me to a website with these tidbits of info:
Q: WHAT IS THE NATURAL COLOR OF CHEESE?
A: The natural cheese color is a yellowish off white. The orange color is caused by an added cheese color which is extracted from the onatto seed.
Q: WHY IS THE NATURAL COLOR OF CHEESE MORE YELLOW IN THE SUMMER MONTHS?
A: When cows are grazing on grass in the pasture, the chlorophyll in the grass makes the milk a darker, off white. This in turn causes the cheese to be a more yellow color.

And the cheese powder is coloured with traces of radioactive strontium-90. It's all part of a secret government plan to accustom people to higher levels of radiation, so the population survives a nuclear war.
