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.

Can anyone explain what the point is of mild cheddar?

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

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

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

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

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).

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