Put feta cheese on top of your salad instead of cheddar.
"Make a change for the feta" was an advertising campaign by Athenos in summer 2010. The company was challenging consumers to replace cheddar cheese in their salads with feta cheese. In the advertisement, it states that feta cheese has 30 percent fewer calories than cheddar while still having "all the flavor you expect from your cheese." White and crumbly, feta cheese is a brined curd cheese made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk.
