Cheese & Milk

[BendtheBar]

I toured my brother-in-law's cheese factory this week and I was amazed and how little processing was involved in the making of cheese. It was like, raw milk plus a natural starter agent, and then time.

Once the cheese was ready, it went into a salt bath for a period of time, and was then aged.

I mention this because I have read on forums how cheese was a "dirty" food. I think it's far less processed than milk, maybe by a long shot.

I would have loved to have gone with you.

Cheese as you know is a food of the Gods. Real cheese is a solid food, just use within reason as it is a bit high in calories.

Crap cheese out of a can is a whole different story.

Yeh proper cheese is AMAZING, pretty high in calories as stated, but is definitely not a 'dirty food' IMO. All natural and loads of protein... sounds good to me

We had a discussion once on this forum and someone had labeled cheese as a dirty food.

Madness followed

On the BB side milk and cheese have a dirty rap Because of this:

After a days of birth we all actually become allergic to dairy/milk. Its a very small allergy and the side effects is thin fat build up just under the skin. This produces what we call Baby Fat as stores for the rapid growth we go threw the first year. Have you ever seen a skinny baby?


So BBer call it bad and cut dairy out in last stages of cutting to get the lean and loose that thin layer of fat just below the skin.

Cutting cheese the last week is to also help with sodium control depending on the way you do your prep.

If you (BBers) arn't going on stage in a week or two and you cut dairy for the fat and sodium you only hurting your own progress.
