Oh, boy.

Cheese is a strange thing, too.

I mean, where does it come from, really?

I know there’s dairy in it, so it was once milk, right? Then what happens?

Do they just sort of let it sit there for a bit? I mean, that sounds disgusting.

I’m guessing they add salt, which is bizarre when you think about it. I mean, from a cow’s perspective, you’re basically stealing her milk and then just dropping “spicy little rocks” in it. Like, that’s pretty messed up. I bet, if she could speak English instead of just “cow-talk,” she’d be like, “what are you doing? It’s fine the way it is! Don’t mess with it!”

Imagine if a group of cows industrialized, squeezed your bladder until you urinated into a giant jug, then proceeded to dump a bunch of dirt into the jug, ultimately to drink the concoction out of a cardboard box with a cartoon human’s face on it.

Now, imagine they aged that dirt/urine combination until it became mold, and then proceeded to spread it on little pieces of bread paired with fine wines.

I’ll still eat cheese, and I think many of you will as well. But just think about it.

Until next time,
