Hey could you help me with this poll
http://www.strawpoll.me/11451320

I'm a little bit overweight, not exactly fat. I tried to go on a diet.
I was making great progress, but I felt like a zombie without pasta and red meat.
So I started eating again and working out instead and I feel fine.
Pasta is a sacred gift from our ancestors.
If you're not eating pasta you're fucking up.

Yesterday I went out to eat to a fancy restaurant, and I ordered some pasta. As I was about to eat it, I noticed the waiter forgot to bring me some cheese, so I asked him nicely if he could bring me some for my pasta, but he politely declined my request. I was confused, he said I could talk to the chef, so he came, and explained that in his restaurant, it was frowned upon eating pasta with cheese, I said I didn't understand, but he left.
I ate my order with no cheese.

>tl;dr why isn't pasta aten with cheese? At least acoording to professional chefs.
