Cheese is to be treated as junk food under new advertising rules for children's television.

Commercials promoting it will be banned during children's TV programmes and those with a large proportion of young viewers.

For heaven's sake...why don't they just ban commercials and be done with it. I could agree with that.

Given what I'm already paying for sat service, I'd think that would already be fait acompli

 

[unclehobart]

We should get tax breaks for watching most of the shite they put on TV!

Blue cheese, what about blue cheese, then there is swiss cheese...what to do about that one...

 

[unclehobart]

They ban the ads on cheese but not the cheesy shows themselves! WTF!?

Guess they are going by "you are what you eat" logic...

Anybody up for a cyanide party?

Can we bring those little cheese nibbles?

 

[tonksy]

How 'bout them little drunken sausages?

 

[Professur]

And let's not forget Taco Bell's finger food.

 

[tonksy]

I thought that was Wendy's chili?

 

[Professur]

Right you are. My mistake. I knew it was mexican something or other.

If you are what you eat, why be a vegetable? Instead, you should eat people who are smarter and better looking than you are.

Now, where are those chili cheese fries?

Anyone up for a nice grilled cheese sandwich?

Ooooh, I was reading an article in a food magazine and they were saying that if you mix grated parmesan with the butter you spread on the bread it makes for a yummy grilled cheese. I am so going to try it.
