Are we living in a new age of McCarthyism?

The war on cheese has begun, and responsible cheese eaters country-wide must pay attention.

The comparison to McCarthyism might be a little unfair. Afterall, it is the government that is promoting cheese consumption as opposed to trying to root it out. However, the heretical assault being launched by quack-infiltrated organizations like the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is rife with accusations of subversion and treason without proper evidence. This aggression will not stand.

It's high time we in this country as both citizens and individuals start taking responsibility for our own problems. For instance, Americans need not blame China for the unemployment rate, but rather examine root causes of laziness, poor work ethic, and education. Likewise, we can't blame cheese consumption, or a $140 million government sponsored marketing campaign on behalf of the cheese industry, for obesity in this country, but rather examine root causes like lack of exercise, over eating and the decision to order Domino's American Legend Six-cheese thin crust pizza than a pizza with one type of cheese.

Anyway, my opinion is pretty clear. But read the NY Times article here and decide for yourself.

  1. The cheese industry must have loved Polar Points back in the early 2000s.
