USDA and Domino's Pizza: USDA Issues Dietary Advice on Cheese to Boost Pizza Sales


Common sense is not so common. - Voltaire

What?!?!?!?!?! Of course Dominos would have a reading list to support your "association" (I mean partnership) with the USDA and dairy farmers. So here's some "misreported facts" from the other side of the story. It's funny. I have no financial interest in getting people to "choose" a certain food. Do you?

BTW - The USDA was created to subsize farmers (ie. dairy industry, etc.) not to provide "nutritional" advice. It's strange, we Americans can't seem to figure out why we've never been fatter or sicker. Got any ideas on how that could be?

Phil from Domino's here. 100% of any dollars Domino's received came from America's Dairy Farmers through our partnership with Dairy Management, Inc. -- not the U.S. government or taxpayer money. U.S. Dairy Farmers use their money and resources to partner with us in promoting cheese…an initiative we have in common within this partnership – one that we are very proud of.

Further, DMI has issued a release setting the record straight on its relationship to the USDA, and how the majority of the reports – including the NY Times -- have completely misreported the facts. Read it here.
