This is interesting.

Cheese makes some foodies jump up and down like little kids, but behind that heavenly taste and texture lies bacteria, mammal stomach lining, pesticides and pure fat.

To ripen your cheese and add flavor, bacterial strains are freely injected and smeared into the substance.

That writer sounds like a vegetarian who never watches FoodTV or the History channel.

And what is worse they've been making that stuff in Europe for long before America was discovered ! I'm surprised the US Food and Drug authorities didn't ban it after 1776.

I love cheese and I know how it's made. Doesn't turn me off to it at all. Now hot dogs.....those are nasty....'cept the kosher ones.

Feta is my favorite cheese. Marries well with tomatoes and black olives.
The real stuff, not the crumbly poop you get at the grocery store. ;-)

I want to know what "grosser" means. Is that a word?

In German it means "larger." I'm sure Greg didn't mean it that way, though.

In German it means "larger." .

So now we write in English and derive our meanings in German?

All flash no bang there Greg. You can NOT make cheese WITHOUT bacteria. Fact of life.

So are you saying it's the bacteria that gives it the aroma we smell when it's passed?

As humans we are absolutely covered in bacteria inside and out. Millions of bacteria in our intestinal tract help us to digest and process food daily. It is a necessary symbiotic relationship.

To eat bacteria is neither bad nor gross. There is a good chance bacteria of some sort is on most of the food you eat, whether it was put there intentionally or not.

P.S. I eat some serious cheese!

Why not? A lot of English is derived from German.

Personally, I like Head Cheese, beans and butter milk. An explosive combination guaranteed to make one very unpopular in short order. This food combination will also reserve my place on the couch for the night.

Da "toothless wonder" speaks and reeks! :eek: :D

With all the things the world eats cheese is probably the least gross, Consider Escargot for the French and Dog and Cats for the Asians. And some other things I won't mention.
