French Mimolette: The Hardest Cheese to Get Your Hands On(FDA bullies)

This is a real shame, my favorite cheese being banned by some ignorant federal letter agency.

An FDA crackdown on the import of the French cheese mimolette has foodies crying foul. “Isigny was alerted by importers that the cheese was being put on “FDA hold,” meaning it could not be moved from its arrival warehouse until further inspection.

Just like any other corrupt third-world bureaucracy, the FDA requires tribute before it will allow you to conduct your business.

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution clearly states that the federal government has the power to regulate mites on cheese.

Or maybe not.

The federal goverment approved mites are much larger. 200 pounds or so. Sometimes with suit and tie.

OK, you’re off my cheese mite pinglist.

[Teflonic]

Bugs or not it’s delicious, the mites are part of the curing process.

You can tell your country is officially effed up when common sense has declined to the point where you have less than the French. ;)

Red food coloring such as is used in soft drinks, etc, is made from cochineal beetles. You don’t have to be too sophisticated to drink Big Red soda.

I wonder if the FDA has figured out that honey is bee barf?
