Breaking News | The Federal Highway Administration Filling Potholes with Surplus Cheese
According to NPR, the US has a 1.4 billion-pound cheese surplus as of 2019. Why? We produce more milk than we consume. So what can we do with all that cheese? Fill potholes!
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Federal Highway Administration will cement cheese to clog potholes. "Better than it clogging Americans’ arteries,” said Neal Barnard, MD, FACC. A great solution to an ongoing issue.
What's not an April Fools Joke is that milk and other dairy products are the top sources of artery-clogging saturated fat in the American diet. Diets high in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease, which remains America’s top killer. Cheese is especially dangerous. Typical cheeses are 70 percent fat!
Research has linked the high fat content and hormones in milk, cheese, and other dairy products to breast cancer.
One study of nearly 10,000 women found that those who consume low-fat diets have a 23% lower risk for breast cancer recurrence. They also have a 17% lower risk of dying from the disease.
