Yes, the Feds have now targeted the artisan cheese industry.
A sense of disbelief and distress is quickly rippling through the U.S. artisan cheese community, as the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week announced it will not permit American cheesemakers to age cheese on wooden boards.
Never mind that these cheeses have been ripened that way for hundreds of years, and never mind that it has been scientifically demonstrated to be safe. Our betters have decided that the practice must stop.
What’s next, wines aged in wooden barrels?
As to why people continue to put up with such tyranny I wish I knew.

One response to “War on cheese?”
There will come a tipping point.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
