Say cheese
Kraft cheddar is made with natural cheese and the goodness of milk.
An Australian favourite since 1926, Kraft cheddar cheese has been the
first choice for generations of Fijians as well.
While the Kraft cheddar story began in the 1920's when food entrepre-
neur Fred Walker began developing ways to pasteurise cheese, making it
possible for the first time to store cheese indefinitely, little did he know
that the brand of cheese he established will become an all-time global
favourite across different communities and cultures.
With a strong ‘Nutrient Score of B’, Kraft cheddar cheese is a fairly
healthy food choice because it contains a considerable amount of vita-
mins and minerals per calorie.
Available at leading supermarkets and grocery stores, Kraft cheddar
cheese which is imported from Australia is a product of the Kraft Heinz
Company and a favourite amongst children and adults alike.
Kraft cheddar cheese contains protein and phosphorus and is rich in
calcium which is essential for proper muscle and nerve function and for
keeping your bones strong. Phosphorus is necessary for kidney function
and producing DNA, and zinc is needed for forming proteins and immune
functions.
The product contains a high concentration of essential nutrients, in
particular high quality protein and calcium, which are great for your
health and is an important source of calcium and many other nutrients
that are found in milk and is a great dairy alternative for people who have
difficulty in digesting lactose or milk's sugar.
As almost everyone loves cheese, Kraft not only tastes great, it is also
very good for you. Research has proven that adults and children alike

should be eating a decent amount of cheese on a regular basis, and this is
why it is included in the food pyramid.
Eating 1.5 ounces of cheddar cheese counts as the equivalent of one
cup of dairy and is one-third of the recommended dairy consumption per
day for adults. Dairy products, like Kraft cheddar cheese, provide you with
essential nutrients, including protein, calcium, vitamin D and potassium.
Getting sufficient amounts of these nutrients helps lower your risk for such
health conditions as osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease and high blood
pressure.
It doesn’t matter whether you enjoy Kraft cheddar cheese as an ingredi-
ent or with your favourite cracker or bread, what is important is that you
are getting all the nutrients you need from it.
There are so many different ways that you can include Kraft cheddar
cheese in your meals, and even if you just sprinkle a bit on top of your
vegetables or pasta, you will still be reaping the benefits it has to offer.
So on your next shopping trip, don’t forget to pick up a packet of Kraft
– you won’t be disappointed.

Letter of the Year
THE Fiji Times awarded
the Letters to the Editor's Let-

Ms Qereqeretabua wrote a

Having proved to be a loyal worker, Ramen was given the im-
portant task of driving for the directors. Not long after, he was pro-
moted as customs clearance clerk – a job which he dearly holds on
to until today.
“I have to collect bills and charges, then travel to the ports to

ing activity daily,” Ramen added.

the importance of time.
“One has to realise the importance of being on time. I have al-

“Another very important thing is to treat everyone with equal
respect. One should never be rude to other colleagues as everyone
