Cheese is rich and creamy, and it’s irresistible on a cracker, paired with a selection of fresh fruit, or sprinkled over a bowl of chili. There are many delicious reasons to love cheese, and Americans really do love it. The per capita consumption is 40 pounds a year, or a little over 1.5 ounces a day.

As much as we love cheese, though, we’re a little afraid of it. When people talk about their fondness for cheese, it’s often in a guilty, confessional way, like “Cheese is my weakness.”

But “cheese is packed with nutrients like protein, calcium, and phosphorus, and can serve a healthy purpose in the diet,” says Lisa Young, RD, an adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University­. So if Stilton makes you swoon or you always want more Parm on your pasta, know this: Research shows that even full-fat cheese ­won’t necessarily make you gain weight or give you a heart attack. It seems that cheese doesn’t raise or reduce your risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and some studies show it might even be protective.

Forget about pepper sauce, Cheese, I put that s**t on everything.

Cheese complements just about anything like nothing else does.

Or you could just have some smoked gouda with a glass of red wine

Translation: no one besides the article author is afraid of cheese. Not even Limburger.

If the government says they’re bad for you then I believe that it’s good!

I’m Italian by heritage and deem cheese and wine good for you!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

Cabot seriously sharp, white Chedder is the best. Kroger stopped carrying all Cabot cheese. I can’t imagine why. My son buys me the giant, well large, block from Sam’s Club.
