I've just read a headline saying 'Grating cheese 'cuts risk of heart disease' says Food Standards Agency' on the Telegraph Website
I am ashamed to confess that (before reading the entire article) I thought that this was because grating cheese is more exercise than slicing it. Grating works your arm - burn more calories - you'll be fitter - less risk of heart disease.
I though 'oh great, cheese grating is a recognised exercise - this is brill, more cheese for me.'
Then I read the article, and realised it was basically saying that when we grate cheese, we use less. Less cheese - less calories and fat - less risk of heart disease.
That makes a lot more sense.
