"Dairy Management teamed up with Domino’s to create new pizzas with 40% more cheese and devised (and paid for) a 12 million dollar marketing campaign for the new creation. People loved the stuff, and sales soared, “by double digits”, according to the NY Times.

Interesting when you look to find out how closely tied the government is to those who do the DoA's business. Strange that the DoA pushes so many products which defy its "dietary recommendations."
One of the the many confounders of dietary research is that "dairy" isn't always "dairy", "fish" isn't always "fish", and "meat" isn't always "meat".
Are we talking about grass fed cow dairy, or grain fed? Pasteurized or non-Pasteurized? Grass or grain fed beef/chicken/pork? Pen raised, grain fed salmon or wild caught? Most of the nutritional criticisms of any of these products is either valid or invalid based on the answers to the above questions - but I'll guarantee you that virtually none of the epidemiological studies have taken into account the differences in the above - thus, the insignificance of those kinds of studies. In the mean time, your government continues to spend our money to manipulate markets while pushing scientifically invalid dietary recommendations.
