Answer 7

It usually is that way if you buy prepackaged Oscar Mayer or the like.  If you get it sliced to order from a deli, most of the meats will be rectangular.  Depends on the manufacturer. And yes, not all bread is square just (again) prepackaged loaves.  Sandwich rolls are long, Kaiser rolls are round.

Because it comes off a meat roll ( and rolls are round)

Cheese comes in blocks because its formed that way, good meat comes in rumps which are mostly round in shape because it comes that way off the animal they dont cut square chunks out of cows/turkey etc animals arent shaped that way, if its square its over processed meat from different parts of the animal put together ewwwwww
