Anti-cheese Group

A physicians group placing a billboard near Lambeau in WI warning people that cheese is fattening and is high in cholestrol is about as breaking and informative that in other news...

Water is wet.

I guess I don't see what the point is.

On one hand, obesity is ridiculously out of control in America. When you go out into public, the "norm" is seeing overweight people... from morbidly obese to people that "just need to drop a few" (Of course a "few" = 20 - 40 lbs). After all, what can we expect when we gorge at buffets/fast food restaurants and then lead a sedentary lifestyle?

On the other hand, a billboard advising people that cheese is fattening is beyond stupid IMO.

Eat up America... and keep buying bigger clothes.

Perhaps these Algonquin Superstars should protest government cheese--or the need for it.

Interesting to note that they have finally come up with something to complain about with Green Bay: "Cheese."

If that's all they can hang on you, you must be doing awright...

right, and beer is high and calories and impairs judgement

Shoving radishes in your ass can lead to anal puckering.

You should know that this is a subgroup of PETA. There are no reputable physicians associated with this group and the AMA condemns their propaganda as dangerous to human health. Just more "in your face " garbage from PETA. It will be ignored as most of their garbage is and seeing as how this is Wisconsin the billboard may even look like swiss cheese by the end of the week. Would be nice if the butchers association put up a bloody billboard in front of their office and see if they would like this tactic.

Overall I definitely agree, but it somewhat depends on where your public is. You fat f**ks in Sconnie take the taco for waddling back and forth because your thighs are too insanely huge to avoid rubbing each other. That ain't the norm everywhere. The longer I'm away from WI, the more shocking it is to get off the plane and immediately see almost half of all the people around disgustingly overweight.

Either way, really dum idea that if anything will have the fatties shoving even more pounds of cheese into their pie holes in protest.

Smooth, relaxing and it'll clean you right out.

You ain't seen **** until you've been to Wisconsin Dells to check out all the hotties rolling around at the water parks. Prrrrrrrr.

My favorite are the ones that insist on wearing bikinis with their gut hanging over the front and their back fat flapping in the wind.

All I know is that when I head up that way for the game this weekend, one of my stops will be at to get some cheese curds and to stock up on cheese.

I drive back to Wisconsin just for this



Outside of back home, no one seems to know what brick cheese is.

Brick cheese was about the only kind I ate growing up. My dad was a farmer and the little cheese factory that bought our milk made just brick cheese.

I still eat cheese...in moderation, of course. As do most people I know.

Oh, and for those of you who keep claiming Wisconsinites are the "fattest" in the nation...

This

It's literally jarring.

When we fly home to M'waukee, Mrs. Blair Kiel and I always stop at Kopp's first thing for a cheeseburger and a "flavor of the day" cone.......

Simply amazing.

When you're fat, yet surrounded by people even fatter than you, you don't think you're fat.

Guess what?

You're fat.

I've seen pictures.

You're not fat.

Anymore.

...people from Wisconsin not only think they're not fat---they also don't think they have accents.

Doncha know.

And you're still a fart.
Bless your heart.

Yous guys in from da Californy? Ya like it out der?

Kopp's is awesome and a great place to build a stomach foundation before heading out to the Brady St. area for about 100 beers. I always go right to Kroll's in GB when I get there - same sort of place that just doesn't exist out here.

Aside from the incredibly tasty food, I'm also always taken aback by the displays of pure, raw eating power at the tables in the vicinity. Whoa.

Work on a farm and eat whatever the hell you want.

You also burn about 154,000 calories per day. If Henry Farms serves Kroll's burgers on-site, sign me up. I'm not qualified, but that doesn't matter.

I've been a 3 pack a day cheddar guy for a couple decades.

I see you on the way to the store every day....

I like my cheese and no one will ever convince me not to eat it. Every time I fly home I stop off at the Cheese Mart in Lena. I almost missed it when they upgraded 141 to 4 lanes.

Your views are based on reputation...and well deserved. However, the land of dairy air hasn't been the fattest state in the nation for awhile and not even in the top 20 any longer. It's a nationwide issue - fat ain't just for Wisconsin any more.

If they think cheese in unhealthy why dont they go after bacon,beef products,beer, eggs,and all else that isnt a veggie,remember,there are a lot more old drunks and fat people than there are old doctors.

Eggs? Very healthy food. It's gets a bad rap for the cholesterol levels in the yolks but there are many recent studies that indicate dietary cholesterol has little to do with cholesterol levels in your blood. High cholesterol levels in your blood have more to do with genetics and sitting on your ass than anything else. Granted, you probably don't want to eat a dozen eggs yolks a day but you get the point.

Ah yes, makes perfect sense... Everybody should get drunk and fat. It's the key to eternal life!!

the whole idea just makes me curdle!

Interesting. I thought it was kind of odd science in the TV news story when one of the doctors behind it flat-out stated that "the healthiest people don't eat cheese." Seemed like a rather unsupportable statement, scientifically. Is there a specific class he can state for certain are "healthiest people?" Vegans? Olympic athletes? The 100-year-old Siberian yogurt-eaters? Iron-man contestants? Some farm kid who gets a lot of exercise and can lift calves and pigs and hay bales and lime sacks, often in bunches, without blinking? I'm sure the very healthiest don't live on barrels of cheese every day, but it didn't really scan right to me to hear a doctor state as some sort of outright, easily-proven fact that "the healthiest people eat no cheese."

Thank you for pointing this out. Cheese is not the problem. The South is far and away the fattest place in America. Frying everything is more of a problem. Wisconsin is not in the bottom half of states. Also, Men's Health had an article while I was overseas that pointed to a few Wisconsin campuses as the most fit in America. UW-L is the third most fit college campus in America. The fat Wisconsin stuff is much more a media idea than a reality.

Interesting to note that the poorest states are the fattest. Mississippi leads the way. Also, the states with the worst education systems. Problem is also that it is much cheaper to eat poorly.

BTW, the standard that we use to determine obesity in America is BMI (body mass index). According to BMI I came out of Army Basic Training morbidly obese (6'2" 210 lbs.). Never mind I could do push-ups with three of my young cousins on my back. John Kuhn is morbidly obese according to the statistics we constantly use to describe how fat Americans are.

Basically, leave my cheese alone.

who's to say what's good for everyone? we're all genetically different and live in different environments. remember Jim Fixx? Mr. Healthy Jogger - dead at 52. "everything in moderation" is about the only good food advice I could give anyone.

Waiting for Catts (she catts) to regale us with her stories of cankles and fat Yankees settling in the south.

Texas more obese than Wisconsin? The hell you say!

Wisconsinites need an extra layer of fat to get thru our annual winter of hibernation.

Exactly.

Actually, I do think that is part of the problem with obesity. We're not that far removed from days of physical labor to make a living. People still cook big meals like Mom used to.

Just need to adjust how and why we eat the way we do.

As far as the "don't eat that because it's bad" is horse****. Moderation and exercise. Screw the food nazi stuff.

PETA in general makes me laugh. Yes, we've been eating these foods for thousands of years and now they are perilously bad for you. I also love the dopes that try and tell you dogs really prefer a vegetarian/vegan diet.

Yeah, those millions of years of evolution really support that argument.

Another thing, meat protein is the reason why our brains became larger and developed into the modern cognitive walnut rolling around in our heads. Yes, meat and animal products are bad.

STFU you grass eating twats.

That's the first time I agree with you Henry. I totally agree with the food nazis shutting their pieholes. Mind your own damn business, and let me eat my string cheese and pizzas.
