Any questions?

For years you've been telling your friends, family, co-workers and anyone who will listen that you're addicted to cheese. It's a part of every meal or snack, and you think about it constantly. According to a new study from the University of Michigan, cheese crack is a real thing. And so is your addiction.
The study, published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, examines why certain foods are more addictive than others. Researchers identified addictive foods from about 500 students who completed the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure if someone has a food addiction.
Pizza, unsurprisingly, came out on top of the most addictive food list. Besides being a basic food group for kids, college students and adults, there's a scientific reason we all love pizza, and it has to do with the cheese.
The study found certain foods are addictive because of the way they are processed. The more processed and fatty the food, the more it was associated with addictive eating behaviors.
Cheese happens to be especially addictive because of an ingredient called casein, a protein found in all milk products. During digestion, casein releases opiates called casomorphins...

I love all kinds of cheese, but I eat it in moderate quantities.
So is stupidity.
They don’t call them cheeseheads for nothing.
So that explains why there are so many life long Democrats?
I’m not addicted to cheese. I can stop whenever I want to, I just don’t want to right now.
So the Leftist in academia are working to broaden the definition of another important term to the point of absurdity.
They have done it with rape and racism and now they are working on “addiction”.
I suppose the next thing we know you will be able to get on disability because of your food addiction.
HA HA thanks for posting, I shared with my daughter over at FB. she is a real cheese lover. I remember one time we were camping (camping! but not in the wilderness or anything) and she asked us to get blue cheese crumbles for her burger.
Her dad was like: what?
But we got them.
Oh yeah! I love bleu cheese.
All types. Especially on a big juicy burger.
My Italian ethnicity has a built-in cheese radar. Only aged, hard, freshly grated cheese on pasta (like a parmesan reggiano or similar) will do. Also only mozzarella cheese on pizza instead of that white, knock-off imitation cheaper variety.
Had a Philly cheesesteak with a very sharp provolone —as with cheese and me the sharper the better. Buono mangia.
"pass the cheese, man"
Yes, concrete bowel movements demand it.
One stupid study which once again reveals the “grant” rip off.
While i won't spout the “everything in moderation” pabulum it is very difficult to overeat a high fat food alone... High fat and carbs though, that is a killer and easily over eaten.
I am done with food “science” since once you dig into the studies and papers you find they are pretty much crap.
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to cheese.
And cheese...It's versatile; sandwich, salad, w/ vegies.
