Physicians' group to sack cheese on billboard near Green Bay

Poor Packers fans. Just few weeks into their new season as Super Bowl champions, they are about to be confronted with a near sacrilegious billboard on their way to Lambeau Field.: the Grim Reaper in a cheesehead and a warning about the health dangers of cheese. Never mind that thousands of them likely will be chomping on one of the favorite foods of America's Dairyland in the Lambeau parking lot and that one of the largest cheese companies in the world is based in Green Bay. That's exactly what the nutrition and animal rights advocacy group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine had in mind when it agreed to pay $3,500 to buy billboard space in De Pere that is visible from Highway 41.
