Nobody Really Knows…

…what’s good for you and what isn’t.
For years now, all the Calorie Commandos, Diet Directors, and Health Nazis have been telling me things like, “cheese is fattening”, “cheese is bad for you”, “cheese is killing you”.
Frankly, I’m tired of it!
I love cheese.

All kinds!
And I’m not ashamed to admit it.
If you look at the 100 things about me page of the RLR, you’ll see that I think cheese improves just about anything.
And it does.
Well now, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is reporting that women who ate one ounce of full fat cheese everyday gained less weight than women who didn’t.
So there!
According to the report, it seems that WHOLE FAT dairy may pump up your metabolism! Take that all you Nazi Vegan Anti Cheese People. You know who you are, the ones who look at me like I’m hiding a secret life when I hit the cheese bowl twice at the salad bar! Yeah, it’s okay now, the Journal said so!
Apparently cheese contains conjugated linoleic acid. Yes, I know it sounds like floor wax, and probably is, but who cares? It pumps up your metab!
Again, I say So there!
So use goat cheese instead of mayo on that sandwich, put parmesan on your veggies, melt cheddar – it’s better!
Go whack, snack on Monterrey Jack!
When ya gotta, have ricotta!
If you’re all alone, make it provolone!
Listen fella, it’s mozzerella!
Ok, I’m annoying even myself here…
…but I’m just so H A P P Y!
I can’t wait until the “Lettuce Makes You Fat” report comes out!

I’m very happy for the cheese, however, where’s the “milk chocolate cures everything” report? I’m still waiting for that one.

Did you know cheese contains less lactose than milk? Which allows some lactose intolerent people to eat cheese, when they can’t eat milk. In some of the places where there’s a huge precentage of people with lactose intolerence, Africa, Italy, China people have been making cheese the longest!
