Morningland Dairy is the latest attempt by the FDA to fulfill the Healthy People 2020 objective to kill raw dairy. Morningland is owned by Joseph and Denise Dixon, who operate the cheese plant and make raw cheese from cows kept right on the property and managed by one of their eldest daughters. They have 12 children, 4 who still live at home, and they have been actively engaged in real food for decades.

Cheese-chasers defy local police road blocks and chase wheels of cheese down a hill, thereby continuing 200 years of tradition.

My son recently ate his cheese into the shape of a bus. He proceeded to threaten me with it. Should I call the police? Zero tolerance satire here.

FBI raids Chuck E. Cheese over GAME TOKENS, insisting that they constitute counterfeiting.

A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.

An attorney for a group of food truck and push cart vendors has written members of the Birmingham City Council to say the vendors have “serious concerns” about a proposed mobile food ordinance that they say is “extraordinarily restrictive” and, if passed as written, could drive them out of downtown. “Our organization isn’t opposed to regulation, but the complexity of this ordinance is kind of astounding to me,” David Donaldson, the attorney representing the mobile vendors, said today.

ST. LOUIS — The city is changing how it issues permits for food vendors on downtown park property and sidewalks. The city wants more quality control, more oversight and, in some cases, more money. Brady Tolliver, the self-dubbed King of Carts, has five vending sites throughout the area, including one in front of City Hall at Market Street and Tucker Boulevard. Tolliver has no problem with the higher fees. They may weed out vendors who aren't serious enough, he said . . .

School lunches aren't what they used to be. At some city schools, ham and cheese sandwiches have been replaced with greasy pizza, burgers and french fries. While some schools have tried to add healthier options to their lunch menus, one Chicago school has taken a controversial approach: it banned home-packed lunches altogether.

In a radio interview on Thursday with Albany’s WGDJ-AM, New York governor Andrew Cuomo said that he plans to work with state legislators next month to submit a proposal for new gun-control laws; in particular, Cuomo said, “our focus is assault weapons,” because current state laws regulating the weapons “have more holes that Swiss cheese.” Cuomo continued, “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”
