Cheese, while being pretty high in fat, doesn't spike blood sugar like soda does, causing the accumulation of visceral fat and heading the body towards diabetes. It's also an excellent source of B vitamins, calcium, protein, conjugate linoleic acids and other nutrients. If cholesterol and fat intake is not an issue for an idividual, there is no reason in the world not to enjoy one of nature's finest creations; cheese. Real cheese, not that Kraft "American Cheese" poison. Real cheese.
I suspect sugar and particularly corn products like HFCS far more in the American lard-ass problem than I do cheese. The average fat American kid doesn't eat cheese, he eats ersatz, vaguely cheese-like industrial crap made with flags flying and that douchebag in the commercials making it look somehow patriotic to feed that poison to your kids.
