Look at the nutritional chart for this concoction (which I’m sure is inaccurate and far worse than it states). 149% of it is FAT and look at all that Cholesterol and salt (93%!). Really, really bad — and yet chef Guy Fieri is promoting this to an America where millions are overweight and getting diabetes from consuming too much fatty foods:
No wonder Americans are facing an obesity and diabetes epidemic consuming that much cheese (see this healthy Mac and Cheese recipe from Diabetes.org). You don’t need all that cheese in baked Macaroni and Cheese. That’s just plain overkill, ridiculous and UNHEALTHY. If you need that much cheese to make your food taste good, throw in the towel, alleged chefs! See: “What Does Too Much Cheese Do to the Human Body?”
Dr. Barnard’s Blog: Cheese and Obesity — A “typical slice of cheese is 70% fat — that’s one step away from Vaseline. It’s one of the unhealthiest foods you can eat,” says Neal Barnard, MD.

Q: What’s the biggest food atrocity?
A: Aside from cheese, which approximately equates to Vaseline in its nutritional value, I’d point a finger of blame at processed meats. That means bacon, sausage, ham, deli slices and hot dogs. They are quite convincingly associated with colorectal cancer. And yet people keep feeding them to their children. But probably the greatest atrocity is chicken. Americans now eat more than 1 million chickens per hour. The problem is that people think this is healthful. Chicken is loaded with fat and high in calories. Not to mention, one serving of skinless chicken contains about the same amount of cholesterol as a typical serving of beef [Source].
