Yeah, I saw that. On the same night, a bit about the Italians wanting to have exclusive naming rights to some Italian cheeses Eg Mozzarella, Romano, Pecorino.
Of course, it's about money, which makes me think the dairy farmers and the Italians might win.
Do I care? Not in the slightest: I drink a lot of cow's milk, for the calcium. Tried soy milk once and thought it was vile. I sometimes use coconut cream, or make my own coconut milk from desiccated coconut. (for Thai cooking)
I love 'real' cheese, of which Australia produces in large quantities. It's sold more cheaply than the imported cheeses, which tend to be pretty bad. That's because of our strict quarantine laws laws ; imported cheeses may not have any live bacteria. I was stunned when visiting France for example, by just how fantastic their Brie and camembert cheeses are in comparison to Aussie versions, which are pretty good. .
Plus, if possible, I don't buy vacuum packed cheeses. Processed cheeses are beyond the pale. My dog quite likes them.
I've often wondered about that ghastly orange shit McDonalds put on their burgers. Can't say I 'do' anything about it. I simply stopped eating all fast chain foods about 30 years ago. Very occasionally I'll buy a proper Aussie burger, with beetroot. No fries, No shake, not needed..
