Cheesy nitwittery in the UK
I'll bet this wouldn't go over very well in the land of cheese-eating surrender monkeys:
"Cheesemakers in Britain are fighting back over the 'demonisation' of their produce after adverts for cheese were banned during children’s TV shows. ...
"The furore has been prompted by a decision by Ofcom, the broadcast regulator, to adopt a nutrient profiling model to ban 'junk food' promotions to children.
"Under the formula, devised by the Food Standards Agency, cheese is deemed to be a food high in fat and salt and therefore cannot be advertised during teatime programmes or on Saturday morning TV. Cheese promotions are also banned during programmes popular ... among early teenagers."
