Cheese to get "Government Health Warning"
Discussion
I heard this on the radio yesterday. Is there no area in which the Government will not stick its nose into my business?
I think the people of this country should collectively tell Her Majesty's Government to butt out of our personal culinary habits and concentrate its efforts on 'cutting waste', 'catching criminals', and 'generaly making the country a better place'. That's why they've been elected.

I hate cheese ....it must be outlawed!
apart from mozzarella on pizzas of course.
Blimey, someone else who doesn't like cheese! I always face 20 questions when I say I don't like the stuff. It somehow seems to offend people.
i've never liked it and positvely recoil when people offer a 'cheeseboard' around at meals....
then again.....i don't like milk (okay with 'shakes and in tea/coffee etc) , butter, margerine, etc etc..
either.
i am a freak non?

I can assure you that margarine doesn't contain milk.
In fact the basic ingredients are the same as soap.

There's nothing on the Telegraph website about this.
Exactly what is the government allegedly planning with respect to cheese?
I think the labels will highlight the dangers of consuming unpasteurised milk products, which may contain listeria and other nasties.
'Warning: contains cheese' would be enough for me.
But why oh why do people go so mad over it? When you 'admit' to not liking the stuff, you can see your interrogators' eyes light up as if they have just uncovered the scoop of the century.
When a mate told me he didn't like peanut butter I didn't start interrogating him or suggesting varieties he may like.

I get the same when I mention that I don't like tomatoes. I order pizzas without the tomato puree base and people think I'm some kind of weirdo.
I may be but for different reasons.
