cheese is a health food!

[Lrphilpot]

My sister has gone bat shit crazy on so called healthy good. She keeps saying that cheese is a junk food. How long earth can it be a junk food? It's full of vitamins, calcium and other good stuff. The government advice for children is to have 3 portions of dairy every single day, so cheese can not possibility be a junk food.

depends on the cheese, not all are high in salt or sodium

[IonaNE]

Cheese is very high in fat and salt. Yes, we need fat - but even if you tried, it would be very difficult to cut fat out totally, given that even grains contain some. Also a lot of people eat processed cheese, which is not healthy. You can get calcium from other foods that aren't processed: eggs, fish. The bottom line: while I would not call cheese exactly "junk food" (= potato crisps, hamburgers, ice cream, doughnuts, etc.), I would not call it exactly healthy either. In moderation it's ok (but then so are junk foods).

I don't get mild cheddar either. But I'm sure during the war it was the only cheese widely available.

[GravyAndShite]

Why OP! Why would you do this...?

🍿🍿

[ladyjadey]

scholes no idea why mild cheddar exists. Totally with you on the all but goats cheese. It always reminds me of melted plastic -shudder-

[CockacidalManiac]

It gives me the shits. That's not very healthy.

[Scholes34]

Can anyone explain what the point is of mild cheddar?

[MysticTwat]

Cheeeese, you can't have enough cheese.

Currently eating stilton and Christmas cake. Happy Yule everyone

[Beebeeeight]

200g is nothing!

You should see how much I put in my macaroni cheese mmmmm

[Sirzy]

It's like most things. Eaten in moderation it's fine, eaten to excess its not.

[lljkk]

I've had some wine or I wouldn't feel the need to share this. 35 grams of cheddar joy. What's not to like?

[EddieStobbart]

I had a match box sized amount for my snack earlier. Then a similar sized amount of 85% cocoa Green & Blacks. Was thinking of going out for a posh (low sugar) hot chocolate with loads of cream in a minute but probably won't get there before the cafe shuts. I'll have any spare cheese that's going thanks!

[GettingitwrongHauntingatnight]

I am a cheess monster. Its not good for adults in large anounts sadly.

[Believeitornot]

Fat isn't bad. too much fat is bad although I think carbs are worse.

When I cut out carbs I felt a million times better and lose weight.

[lljkk]

I luffs all cheese, even goat cheese.

No, I tell a lie, blue cheese is work of Devil.

[MyCatsHateMLMtoo]

Mmmm, cheese. All us low carbers eat cheese - we love the fat, and its great cooked or raw. It is definitely a healthy choice. Just pass it on to us please .

[SantaPleaseBringMeEwanMcGregor]

I'll take all your unwanted cheese. All of it.

[TroysMammy]

I have a thin slice of cheese with my toast at breakfast but my porridge is made with skimmed milk. I am trying to convince my niece that Baby Bels and cheese strings are not real cheese. I'm getting there and she's telling her friends too.

[tibbawyrots]

Only cheese I didn't like was Gorgonzola. I admitted defeat on that one! Too stinky.

[neonrainbow]

Who the hell could eat 200g cheese in a day!? Have you ever weighed a portion of cheese? 30g is absolutely loads let alone 200g!

People with eating disorders are not the norm.

[FaFoutis]

How refreshing, retro stupid diet preaching.

[QueenOfTheFuckingWorld]

Scholes no! Goats cheese is wonderful! I love all cheese, the stinkier the better!

[tibbawyrots]

I think I have cheese every day.

[Scholes34]

We certainly do need cheese. The world would be a sadder place without cheese. Except for goat's cheese. We can all do without goat's cheese.

[NameChanger22]

If it weren't for cheese I'd probably starve to death. Therefore it's healthy for me.
