description by owners:
Did you know there are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. Why is fast food so popular? Because it is convienent, predictable, and fast. Fast food has become a part of the busy American lifestyle. But, nutrition experts point out, fast food is often high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol. This does not mean fast food is bad. But it does mean you should fit fast food into a balanced, healthy diet. To help you make fast
food choices and be an informed consumer, the Minnesota Attorney General's
Office has developed the guide Fast

| General Information on Cheese and Cheese-making |
|
Who
said that food that has spoiled is always bad for you. Cheese, in reality,
is milk that has gone bad. It is probable that the first cheese must have
been made by accident thousands of years ago by someone who consumed milk
on a regular basis. Perhaps a shepherd storing his milk in a bag made from
a sheep's stomach on a warm day found out that because of the warm weather
and remnants of enyzmes from the sheep's stomach combined to produce curdling
in the milk resulting in a semi-solid substance--the first primitive cheese--that
didn't taste too bad. This is all conjencture; whatever its origins, however,
cheese (which comes in far, far more varieties than that available at your
local supermarket) is great food for anyone who is not a vegan. The following
resources will give you information on cheese and cheese-making. A link
to two U.S. suppliers (Cabot Cheese and Organic Valley farms) of rennet-free
cheese (for vegetarians) is also included. (The link to kosher-certified
cheeses are for those who keep kosher,
but they are not necessarily vegetarian cheeses.)
