Cheese is the best food that has ever graced this earth. According to sources:
"The earliest evidence of cheese-making in the archaeological record dates back to 5,500 BCE, in what is now Kujawy, Poland, where strainers with milk fats molecules have been found. Earliest proposed dates for the origin of cheesemaking range from around 8000 BCE, when sheep were first domesticated."
Americans worship cheese just as much as they worship the bald eagle. It is a sign of patriotism. Cheese is so ingrained in our diets, that not a day goes by where we do not consume it. In 2013, it was recorded that EACH American eats around 23 pounds of cheese a year. TWENTY-THREE POUNDS of cheesy goodness. And think, that was back in 2013. Imagine how much our cheese consumption has skyrocketed since then. To honor everyone's favorite food, I have decided to comprise a list of foods containing cheese:
