I have to admit that I was not shocked upon watching Fast Food Nation to find that fully cooked food that can be procured a.) without getting out of the car and b.) in under 3 minutes is not good for me. I found the sudden wave of righteous indignation that hit the vast majority of the United States to be comparable to the outrage that swept the female half my 6th grade class when they found out what was actually in hot dogs. (What? You're surprised that the tan colored, homogenous meat finger that doesn't need to be cooked before eating isn't 100% organically raised lean beef and pork?) Seriously, we've all found pristine looking McDonalds french fries in our cars months after our last visit to the Golden Arches, did it really take a movie to point out that they hadn't bio-degraded? Let's get serious mister.
What I would like to know, is when cheese, of all things, became an unhealthy food. Since when does eating healthily exclude cheese! It's calcium rich, it's protein packed and it's, um...delicious! Just think of all that we would miss out on without cheese!! What would a caprese salad be without the fresh mozzarella? Why would we even bother to remember the French if it weren't for brie? If there weren't stinky cheeses, what would we say when someone toots? What would we put on crackers? Would Wisconsin even exist? Not to mention Italy which might shrivel up and cease to function upon finding out that cheese had become a no-no. What will Winos do for funsies while they drink? Next thing you now they'll be taking away yogurt!
I for one am ready to take a stand. I am not okay with slandering cheese's good name with accusations of being unhealthy and detrimental to our health.
WHOSE WITH ME!?!?
