In 2007, the department highlighted Pizza Hut’s Cheesy Bites pizza, Wendy’s “dual Double Melt sandwich concept,” and Burger King’s Cheesy Angus Bacon cheeseburger and TenderCrisp chicken sandwich. “Both featured two slices of American cheese, a slice of pepper jack and a cheesy sauce,” the department said. These efforts, the department reported, helped generate a “cheese sales growth of nearly 30 million pounds.”
A NYT article about Dairy Management, a curious offshoot of the USDA that helps get more cheese into our fast food, apparently. It’s really upsetting. (via willystaley)
