Say Cheese!

After a long delay due to having some personal issues to deal with, I am back! When we think of cheese, we think of cows and dairy, but did you know that eating too much cheese can be bad for us? It can lead to lactose intolerance and make our stomachs feel like we never want to eat dairy again. However, cheese can also be very good for you in small doses. The cheese-making process is pretty complicated, but the finished product makes it worth the effort.

There are many different cheeses available, such as cheddar, American, Swiss, mozzarella, and so on. Cheese can come in blocks or wheels, and even in cans; the latter can be really bad for you because it’s processed. Eating processed cheese from a can is tasty, but if we eat too much of it our stomachs will not thank us because of the unnatural ingredients contained in that can. A cheeseburger wouldn’t be a cheeseburger without cheese, nor would a grilled cheese sandwich be a grilled cheese sandwich without the cheese.

Cheese serves a vital purpose in our everyday lives and diets, and I’m wondering what kind of cheese(s) you like. What is your favorite and least favorite kind of cheese? How often do you eat it? Are you lactose intolerant? Do you even like cheese at all? Some people don’t eat cheese and that is their choice, but without this essential food, many things we eat wouldn’t be the same, like pizza. Let me know what you like and don’t like. Don’t be cheesy about it, either. Say cheese!
