🧀 MAC & TRUTH
Creamy, cheesy comfort without the chemical compromise.

🍽️ Dish: 🧀 Mac & Truth
🧠 Truth Trigger: “If your ‘cheese’ doesn’t melt, mold, or digest—it’s not food. It’s fraud.”
Mac & cheese was hijacked.
What started as a nourishing dish of dairy, salt, and grain got mutated into shelf-stable, neon-coloured sludge. This version flips it back. No seed oils. No preservatives.
Just clean cheese, conscious noodles, and comfort without compromise.

📣 TRUTH DROP
Most store-bought macs are a chemical cocktail. “Cheese powder” is code for artificial flavouring, preservatives, synthetic dyes, and gut-wrecking emulsifiers. They don’t feed your children—they addict them. This recipe rewires that pattern using real ingredients, healthy fats, and healing spices. Comfort food can be clean.
🧽 CLOSING CLEANUP
This version isn’t just safer—it’s smarter. Nutritional yeast supports B vitamins. Cashews and goat cheese offer bio-available fats and minerals. No blood sugar crash, no seed oils, and no fake cheese. Just real food, real flavour, and real fuel for growing minds.
