FDA Bans Cheese - Really

[Wasn't sure really where to drop this thread. Decided on this forum because of the ridiculous government overreach, but please move if there's a more fitting section. Also, didn't see this posted yet in search]

Hope you didn't like to eat that tasty stuff we call cheese, because the government is now banning it. Yes, really. That's how crazy our lives are becoming. Why is the issue of gun control so important now? Because the government is doing stuff like banning CHEESE. If it weren't true it would be comical, the stuff of the onion.

FDA Bans Cheese Made on Boards

As most of us are focused on the fight against processed foods, the Food and Drug Administration appears to be fighting for processed foods -- at least as far as cheese goes.

Hundreds of small business owners and artisanal cheesemakers were left aghast at a landmark executive decree from the FDA, which would ban the traditional method of aging cheese on wooden boards. Most cheese that isn't manufactured is aged by placing it on wooden boards, a centuries-old practice with relatively few documented health conflicts or concerns.

So, gmo's are totally ok as they poison everyone, but CHEESE, is too dangerous for you. This insanity has to stop somewhere. It's not just the cheese thing, it's everything. Where is the line?

Oh sh*t, I am in real trouble.

I love cheese. LOVE it. I put cheese on everything. I have a baloney and cheese sandwich and I put MORE cheese on it.

Lock and load, patriots. Who is with me?

That's our FDA for you.

2nd line.

YOU CAN HAVE MY CHEESE WHEN YOU CAN PULL IT FROM MY DEAD BACON STAINED HANDS!!!
Now back to read the OP.

I can't afford artisan cheeses but I was looking forward to them one day.

The FDA is so corrupt it boggles my mind.

a reply to: pirhanna
So now they will create a black market for cheese made the way it has been made for thousands of years. The war on drugs has been so wonderfully successful in removing dangerous drugs from our society that the FDA can now move on to cheese makers and start fining and imprisoning these dangerous criminals. Yeah, put 'em in jail with those raw milk providers!
Why did the song from Jesus Christ Superstar just pop into my head...."he is dangerous..."

And the head of the fda is....drumroll....

Michael R. Taylor. Former lawyer for monsanto.

Just sayin....

If only the USA was a country that was free enough that people could choose what they want to do with their bodies. I wonder how long it will be until they make raw food and spices illegal? People had better speak up loudly now. You give them an inch, and they will take a mile...

Right...sure....the rich are gonna now only eat cheese sprayed out of a can or peeled from individual cello wrappers off the stack....WAIT...that's not real cheese, is it.

Bet the big pseudo cheese companies like Kraft had their vote in making this new POS rule.

I'm sick and tired of BIG MEDDLING GOVERNMENT...telling me what I can do.

Cheese doesn't have to be involved in interstate commerce, therefore it can still be made on boards and consumed or sold within a single state and fed has no part in it. No doubt the fed would challenge that, but it's the supreme law of the land.

We could all go have a cheese in, in front of the white house.

Sell and eat artisan cheeses.

Made off boards.

Then if they decide to arrest the offending companies that are present launch a sort of kickstarter campaign for legal costs to defend them in court. Widdle it in a way so that it bypasses state courts and gets sent to the supreme. Cross your fingers.

In the meantime they will have passed another 540 laws that take away some other freedom...while we were eating cheese.

It's hopeless!

They may take our taxes, but they can never take our cheese!

Man, Wisconsin's going to be thrown for a loop with this one...

a reply to: Destinyone

And kraft is owned by.....drumroll....

Altria. Formerly known as Phillip Morris. Another gmo giant, owned by....you guessed it....
monsanto.

Maybe Vermont will secede over this?
At this point I feel like this is all a big joke. It's as if they are trying to force a revolution because they know they can stop it immediately. They want us to push it back so they can push back twice as hard
. All part of the plan.

a reply to: lynxpilot

They are trying to eliminate smaller cheese makers then.

Most people don't know that you can get around things like this by creating multiple LLCs in each state that are loosely linked to a mother company.

Bet if we stripped Obama's skivvies off, flipped him over, we'd find a Monsanto tattoo on his bum. They own just about everything else worldwide. They are even factored into giving funds to other countries. No buy GMO, no get money from U.S. Government.

Well that's pretty damned cheesy of them.

Dunno what else to say.

a reply to: pirhanna

Only in America......



Go home FDA, you're drunk - you remind me of the obsessive mother who can't stand the thought of her children playing in dirt.

It's all good for hundreds of years, until now.

Good move

The FDA must be really, really bored if its going after cheese boards. I like good cheese. Real cheese that's full of flavor. I'm allergic to the stuff so it's gotta be good and worth it for the aftermath. Considering I've never heard of rampant death due to cheese, I can't help but feel that this is way overblown and yes, an attack on artisans.
