Morning Read: Worried about fat, pushing cheese
This is dairy country, and we have some of the best artisan cheese-makers in the US right here, so this article in the New York Times will interest folks.
The Federal government is really worried about the health impacts of high-fat diets, but the Federal government is also pushing Americans to eat a lot more cheese.
The article describes a collaboration between Domino’s Pizza and and a government agency to create a new, far more cheesy pie.
“This partnership is clearly working,” Brandon Solano, the Domino’s vice president for brand innovation, said in a statement to The New York Times.
But as healthy as this pizza has been for Domino’s, one slice contains as much as two-thirds of a day’s maximum recommended amount of saturated fat, which has been linked to heart disease and is high in calories.
And Dairy Management, which has made cheese its cause, is not a private business consultant. It is a marketing creation of the United States Department of Agriculture — the same agency at the center of a federal anti-obesity drive that discourages over-consumption of some of the very foods Dairy Management is vigorously promoting.
One slice? Yikes. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten one slice of pizza.
The Federal government has always been a bit schizophrenic about food, pushing healthy eating on the one hand, but trying to support industry sales on the other.
The drug makers and diabetes drug makers take in 10 billion$$$$ every year with no cure!!

mmmm, cheese
Better they eat cheese products than Skittles, Snickers and soda pop. Good old fashioned manual labor will reduce a lot of those fat issues too.
Variety, people.
If you’re going to have pizza or a Big Mac everyday, you might have a problem.
No problem with treating yourself as long as treating yourself is not taking place at every meal and all the snacks in between.
Stop the food police!
