I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

    Nah cheese is really good for you it is usually easier to digest than milk. It has some pretty important fats and all 9 essential amino acids. It is calorie dense which makes it a great pick me up snack. And if you’re a vegetarian cheese is one of the few foods that fill the role of meat.

        Depends on your nutritional goals and other food sources. If you eat nothing but fast food, you probably don’t need any extra fat or sodium. But if you eat pretty lean, eating some fat calories from cheese certainly isn’t a bad thing.

            You asked how much was healthy, I gave an answer. Then you say add more? Lol what’s your point? You can eat an unhealthy amount of carrots. If you have self control issues maybe you shouldn’t be around cheese, is that the answer you want?

              Yes, that’s my point. When someone is making a recipe, and they say add “a healthy amount” of cheese, they mean more cheese than is healthy.

                  Right, it’s a figure of speech that means the opposite of what it literally says. I thought that was a mildly interesting thought and shared with the communitiy. The weird part is the number of people arguing that some cheese is healthy.
