Cheese manifesto update

by Whitty @ 16.01.2007 - 22:36:48

I have more to say on the subject of cheese:

The Ofcom restrictions on advertising of food and drink to children include cheese as a food that should not be advertised to children and as such have been lumped into the ‘junk food’ category.

Thre is a petition on the 10 Downing Street website, which is calling for a revision of the Ofcom restrictions to remove cheese from the ban.

Now, my first instonct was to visit and vote, however, after further consideration I'm not so sure. The reason being that I have never seen an advert for a good type of cheese. I have seen cheese strings, babybel, kraft slices and laughing cow - exactly all the types of cheese that are rubbish AND aimed at children. So now I think that maybe Ofcom has got it right in a roundabout way....

I think you are probably right. There is a difference between 'junk' processed cheese and traditionally produced cheese from almost any country.

I do enjoy pure cheese.
