Is it good for you.

Fruit, cheese, and bread (which was later adapted to crackers) was served traditionally to cleanse the palate (mouth) after eating a meal. Currently it simply replaces a dessert if savoury is more desired than sweets. Cream cheese on triscuits are a great hunger fixer instead of mowing down a burger in the later evening.

In moderation, it's just fine. You don't want to overdo on the cholesterol from the cheese or the salt from the crackers, but a few won't hurt you.
I like the combination because it settles my stomach. I also have to take evening meds with some kind of food, and crackers with cheese is about as easy as it gets.

Maybe because they can't eat sweet food like milk or jam..I've never eaten cheese and crackers...!I think it's disgusting in the morning!

Because it is a nice and tasty snack. The cheese is good because of the calcium, but it can be fatty and crackers are surprisingly fattening. But in moderation it isn't bad for you and it is a great snack.

I love cheese and crackers. My choise is Colby or a Sharp Cheddar.
It's not a bad snack if you eat it in moderation. Plus it depends on what type of cheese you're eating. In fact my personal trainer loves cheese as a snack and eats it every night - she recommends it to clients as a healthy snack.

Dunno about the healthy side of things but for me its about the only pat on the back I get, my own little thankyou.
I tend to vary the crackers and the cheese, tonights was Feta on Ritz, (yummy) a few seedless grapes and a glass of red. Scented candles and "wordless" music add to the ambience. Cosy.

Because light snacks are nice before you go to be and cheese gives you funny dreams, nice with pickled onions too

I think it is comfort food and the combination leaves you feeling satisfied and tricks you into thinking it is healthy for you.
Cheese is high in fat and crackers contain saturated fat and carbohydrates,also your never satisfied with one!
