Fat.

Well now I don't want to eat anything because apparently the food companies are pouring as much fat as they want into everything. I would've assumed that there had to be some breaking point, much like sugar, in how much fat we like to consume, but apparently that is not the case. Fat feels good. I didn't realize that our taste buds actually cannot taste fat. The pleasure of consuming fat comes from when it touches a particular nerve in our mouths. I also didn't realize, or particularly desire, to know just how much fat was in cheese. Cheese is a weakness for me. A lot of my favorite foods have a lot of cheese all mixed up in them. Macaroni and Cheese, Bacon, Egg and Cheese biscuits, Cheetos, Hamburger Helper, Pizza, mozzarella sticks, cheeseburgers... Cheese is sneaky because we rarely eat it by itself; it always comes with or in something else. I've tried recently to cut back on cheese as best I can, but it's actually pretty hard to cut cheese out of your diet. For me, cheese is a bit of a staple.  Were you as concerned as I was to learn about the proliferation of fat in our dairy products?
