A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese. (lemmy.world)

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

Yes, that's my point. When someone is making a recipe, and they say add "a healthy amount" of cheese, they mean more cheese than is healthy.

Bruh….its a figure of speech. If you want health advice go talk to a doctor

Right, it's a figure of speech that means the opposite of what it literally says. I thought that was a mildly interesting thought and shared with the communitiy. The weird part is the number of people arguing that some cheese is healthy.
