Is cheese bad for my diet?

Original Yahoo Answers question: Would having cheese be bad?

Funny Answer: Nooo, stuffing yourself with cheese that is about 45% saturated fats won't be bad for your diet and your figure, large curves are in fashion nowadays! And have you seen this new cheese in a can? Now you can just put the nozzle in your mouth and press away until it comes out of your nose! Bonus is that any cheese that spills out of your nostrils won't bring you any calories at all (unless you re-eat it, but that would be gross, it has been in your nose).

Serious Answer: Actually eating small amounts of cheese is not bad for your health or diet because it contains a large amount of Calcium that is often lacking in processed foods. It is also a good source of animal proteins for those who don't want to eat meat. Consuming large amounts while dieting is not advised due to the important caloric intake unless you are on a low-carb diet like Atkins. Also the high saturated fat content means you should avoid cheese if you have high cholesterol or cardio-vascular problems.
