Do you like Domino's?

In a surprising move in 2010, Domino's finally admitted that the rubbery board that they had long been trying to pass as pizza needed a revamp. What would make this processed mess tasty? More cheese of course. And so they went with it, adding loads or hormone-laden, over processed cheese to their pizza.
This is all well and good because I can choose not to eat it right? Except it turns out I'm still paying for it. Apparently this pizza bailout flew under the radar, though it was later exposed in the New York Times. The $12 million campaign was funded by the USDA's Dairy Management organization, all to give the dairy industry a boost.
According to the New York Times, Domino's and the USDA teamed up to develop a new line of pizzas with 40 percent more cheese, and funded a pricey campaign to go along with it. One slice of the new pie contains as much as two-thirds of a day's maximum recommended amount of saturated fat.
So basically, the USDA, which is also charged with the latest anti-obesity campaign, is funding a bailout for one of the most fatty chains on the market. What's next, Mickey D's needs a French fry boost?
