How about ending agricultural subsidies, eh? That way we can pay the market price for, um, food.

Jimma' had a "free cheese" program afoot during his tenure as POTUS.

I don't recall Carter having a cheese program but back during the Ford years, there was some really great government cheese. After they'd give it to the poor, any left would be given away to everyone else. That was the best cheese! There was also free government peanut butter and butter. The school lunch ladies would make peanut butter cookies every day and they'd give us a big spoon of honey peanut butter to spread on their heavenly fresh baked buttery rolls, yummmmm!

How about they get back to a focus on making sure the prescription drugs we take are safe?

I think that's the FDA. But you have to wonder what the unique mission of each bureaucracy is and why we couldn't get along fine with just one or get rid of them and let the state bureaucracies deal with this.

So does the government want us to cut the cheese?

[dr_who]

Why is the US government raging about fat-laden foods? Do any of you hear go to the grocery store or a restaurant and buy what the USDA tells you to buy?

>>It’s nacho cheese... <<

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

OMG, it took me a minute!

Nobody better touch my cheese.

They can have the cheese but they best not touch my pickle.

[netmilsmom]

I love good Polish sour pickles wrapped in cheese.

... while the USDA is also responsible for a federal anti-obesity campaign aimed at discouraging Americans from eating obesity-causing foods -- like cheese ...

There is no such thing as an "obesity-causing food"! There are only obesity-causing eating behaviors!

If only there were genuinely foods known to cause obesity. Then we'd all avoid them and be thin. The reality just isn't that easy, though.

Furthermore, what's the deal with saturated fats? As I read once, when your body has too much energy that it wants to put into storage, in what form does it choose to store it? As saturated fat! So, apparently, your body has no issues with it.

Dairy Management is a marketing creation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, helping companies such as Domino's Pizza and Taco Bell promote and sell more cheese,...

They don't have to worry about Taco Bell, I can hardly ever find much cheese in their tacos or burritos.

starch in the bun on your burger!

Not to mention the sugar content of your bun,
most fast food buns have a higher sugar content
so that they will brown up and toast faster, saving
time in the process. A little secret I learned working
at McDs.

So, how is this any different from government schizophrenia over tobacco, or various other products?

[freespirited]

How about we stop spending money on any of this?

I second the motion. There is health information everywhere you turn. We dont need the govt to join the party, especially since it cant do anything in a cost-effective manner.

Cheese and potatoes, two of the most nutritious foods known to man, and now under assault by the Food Nazis. We live in a retrograde culture. (I nearly called it a ‘civilization.’)

Appoint Henry Wensleydale to run Dairy Management.

Problem solved!

With government cheese taken care, we just need to figure out what to do about those little pink houses...

They used almost all of it up filming their adverts showing overstuffed Tacos and Burritos with cheese oozing all over the place.

The real ones get a layer of cheese one molecule thick.
They could teach the Nuclear Regulatory Commission how to split atoms.

Let the free market decide! Federal agricultural subsidies
are distorting supply and demand.
