Confessions Of A Cheese Slut: While I've never turned tricks for cheese, insulin or anything for that matter - I'm a self admitted Cheese Slut!

############

Here’s the thing – I’m a serious fan of cheese, BIG TIME. I wish I didn’t like it, or at least, I wish I could stop loving it so much. Cheese and I have had a life long love affair.

One of my earliest memories is from when I was 3 or 4. I was playing with my older brother in our den & I was pretending to cook him dinner. And all of a sudden, I decided that I needed to take a cheese break.

I ran into the kitchen and asked my mom for some “Baby Cheese.” Baby cheese is what my family and I called sharp cheddar cheese. Apparently, my love of cheese was so great that my whole family named my favorite cheese after me, “the baby” of the family.

I wasn’t selfish, I brought a little pink plastic plate from my tea set and loaded it with slices of Baby cheese and Ritz crackers, walked carefully and slowly back to the den and my brother and I had a feast!

And I have to be honest; I was well into my early twenties before I stopped referring to cheddar as “Baby Cheese.”

Another favorite childhood snack was celery with cream cheese on top, salami and cheese roll ups, and slices of American cheese in my tomato soup, accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich of course. And don’t even get me started on our family’s Friday night meal of homemade Mac & cheese or my mothers Lasagna!

At diabetes camp, I was introduced to campfire popped popcorn with melted slices of orange cheddar – and it was heavenly!

It didn’t help that the following cartoon was a Saturday morning favorite & I knew every word!!

Cut to Kelly as an adult, being introduced to the wonders of carb counting. I was thrilled to see that cheese hardly had any carbs! So in my mind, cheese equaled a free food!

But as we all know, cheese is loaded with fat and fat causes bg spikes hours after the meal has ended. And my beloved cheese has the potential to clog arteries and intestines.

Cheese is a quick fix to hunger and requires no prep time at all - It's TOO EASILY ACCESSIBLE & TASTES YUMMY.

I once shared a beach house with a guy who loathed cheese in any form – And damn if I didn’t envy him!

I could be a vegetarian if it wasn’t for my lust of cheese - and my penchant for bacon! Speaking of, another favorite college snack was bacon right out of the frying pan & wrapped in cheese!

Why am I writing about this? Because I have a strong suspicion that I’m not the only one who:

1. Suffers From Cheese Lust
2. Forgets that low carb count does not necessarily equal low fat, but still chooses to ignore that fact whenever I see fit
3. Sharing is a good thing!

Do you have any low in carb lusts that are high in fat or just not so great in other areas, be it chemical additives or calories? And if so, how do you deal with it?

This Cheese slut needs to know!

1. Government officials are best qualified to make vaccination decisions.  Only government can ensure that a sufficiently high percentage of people vaccinate to preserve societal heard immunity.
2. Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe and effective, and the benefits vastly outweigh the risks.  Adverse events are vanishingly rare.
3. Science proves the benefit of vaccines beyond a reasonable doubt.  The science is in – vaccines are not responsible for any increase in common childhood health problems, including autism.  They’re safe and effective.
4. Vaccine refusers are dangerous and selfish.  People who elect not to vaccinate are parasites.  They are selfish, irrational, and threaten others with deadly disease.
5. Only “false prophets” suggest that vaccines may cause disorders like autism.  Quack healthcare practitioners concoct unfounded treatments for autism and prey on vulnerable parents desperate for help.  People should disdain and shun them.
6. Vaccine exemptions should be abolished.  Dr. Offit and other suggest that states should abolish philosophical and religious exemptions.  l abuse them and put other at risk.  Because vaccines have been proven safe and effective, people have a social responsibility to vaccinate.

1. Vaccination choice is a human right.  Because vaccination poses a risk to life, liberty, and security of person, only an individual or gardian may decide how, when and whether to vaccinate.
2. Society as a whole benefits from the cumulative impact of free and informed individual healthcare choices.  The theory of herd immunity is not an adequate rationale for state compulsion to vaccinate.
3. Vaccine safety science is flawed and incomplete.  The IOM as well as informed scientists, doctors and officials have repeatedly acknowledged that fundamental questions about vaccine safety remain unanswered.
4. The US vaccine program is rife with conflicts of interest.  Vaccines are big business and all of their promoters – pharma, government, medicine, and science – get their cut.  The vaccine program does not put children’s safety first.
5. Biomedical interventions are valid.  Considerable science and anecdotal evidence support biomedical interventions’ for ASDs and other chronic conditions.  The interventions include diet, vitamin and mineral supplementation, chelation, and GI treatment.  Individuals are entitled to the practitioners and remedies of their choosing.
6. Vaccination exemption rights must expand, not contract.  Individuals have the right to free and informed consent for all medical interventions, including vaccination. In practice, not just in theory, individuals must have the right to make their own decisions.
