AIBU to be annoyed that supermarkets are adding cheese to everything?

Why is it that supermarkets have decided to put cheese in bloody everything? Once upon a time, a salmon en croute was just in a white wine sauce; now you can't find one without cheese in the sauce.

Sainsbury's added cheese to several ready meals, such as chicken arrabbiata, so had to switch to Tesco for when I wanted that and a couple of other ready meals for when I don't have time to cook or I've run out of batch cooked stuff.

Today, I really fancied a chicken arrabbiata having been in a car accident last night, aching all over, tired and grumpy, and really don't want to cook tonight. Guess what? Tesco have also now added cheese to it.

Bad enough being lactose intolerant without supermarkets making things even more difficult. And some people just don't like cheese at all, or don't like melted cheese (I mean, cottage pie with cheese on top??).

Why not leave things as they were? If you want cheese, you can just sprinkle it on yourself.

If you can't be arsed to read my original and subsequent posts, or others from people who have disabilities, just sod off with your holier than thou crap.

And also as @EmeraldRoulette said, hope you’re ok after your car accident.

I despair at everything having onions and garlic in, in restaurant and pub meals as well as supermarket ‘meals’. Even stock cubes contain onion powder and garlic powder. They’re bloody everywhere. And they make me ill.

I never buy ready meals so wouldn’t notice the cheesy addition. Maybe just cook your own from now on and forget about ready meals?

Not saying it is but some posts feel like trolling or deliberately made bro make others feel bad

Does being stupid and without empathy come naturally to you or do you have to work at it?
