whaz up?
I know they used to make (and some still do) home made cottage cheese. Like most stuff in the fridge it has guar gum maltodextrin mono and diglycerides xanthan gum carrageenan carob bean gum and a bunch of other stuff. Yikes! I am sure someone on here was raised on a farm and made their own cottage cheese without all that crap in it. I am assuming it tastes different and better? I could try and make my own.

Update. Thanks to timjoebillybobs suggestion(below) I did go to Alton Browns recipe. It worked great. Things I was very surprised at. From 1 gallon of milk you get about 3 or 4 cups of cottage cheese. 3/4ths of the gallon is the left over whey. Which after looking on the net is very good for you and a bazzilion things you can do with it. Alton Browns recipe has milk, white vinegar and salt in it. Once you have made the cheese you can add cream or 1/2 and 1/2 to it to make it look like store bought stuff. Very easy. Yes it is easier and may cost less to buy it but I am glad I did it.
