Don't Mess With Our Cheese

All Things Considered:

In fact, we eat about 31 pounds of it per person each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's estimates. That's nearly triple the amount Americans were eating in 1970.
But is cheese the true culprit behind flabby thighs and paunchy bellies?
 
One group thinks so, and hung unsavory images with that very message as billboards in Albany, N.Y. "Cheese and other dairy products are the leading source of saturated fat that our kids are swallowing," says Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. "And I think most Americans are totally oblivious to it."
When you consider all the artery-clogging saturated fat linked to heart disease, the cholesterol ("as high as any steak you'll find"), how often should we be eating cheese? "I'd say never," Barnard tells us.

What a bunch of lame asses.  Cheese washed down with beer sounds really good right now.  Screw you, doc.
