Too… much? That’s a thing? You’re yanking my chain. As a Dutchman, cheese is my religion. We eat about 22 kilos per capita here, US is about 18. And seeing the overall state of the US, I can only assume low cheese levels are to blame.
Can I offer you a nice block of Gouda in these trying times?
I used to eat massive amounts of cheese daily, way above average even though I'm lactose intolerant. It literally put me in the hospital. For years I had said i could give up meat but I could never give up cheese. Something died in my soul when I made the decision to give up cheeses with lactose. But I still eat my share of Gouda :)
hey good news, there's basically no lactose in most cheeses. what kinda cheese were you eating where lactose became an issue?
Lots of mozzarella, and soft Mexican cheeses and things popular in the US like pepper jack. I'm sticking with hard and well-aged cheeses now. Cheese wasn't the only part of my diet that put me in the hospital. I started by cutting everything that could possibly be a problem. I've been testing putting some things back in. Fortunately I can still eat hot pepper sauces as long as I don't go crazy. I love me some spicy food!
oh yeah the goopy stuff is what gets you goopy
