TweetI recently read that the average american eats about 35 pounds of cheese a year and that it might be the most addictive food in the western diet. Even more than ice cream. . Also that cheese consumption continues to go up every single year while sugar use is actually tapering off as more people drink bottled water and less soda pop. Cheese is in everything. I mean everything. I have been trying to cut out all dairy since the scientific evidence is now beyond argument that dairy is linked to breast cancer and prostate cancer. But I still eat the hell out of cheese. My office the girls bring in cream cheese and bagels and cheese and cheese and more cheese. Ya, I go back and scarf it down when nobody is looking. LOL
