The average american only eats 2 ounces of cheese a day.

Charles Entertainment Cheese, who eats 7 billion pounds of cheese a day, is an outlier and should not be counted.

When reached for comment, he replied "Please, Charles Cheese is my father. Call me Chuck."

Reminds me of a joke (kinda) thought I had years ago. Chuck E Cheese should open a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant called Charles E. Fromage.

Charles Edward Cheddarton's. He's a fat British mouse but runs a fine establishment unlike his American cousin.

American here. Actually this is only about half of the cheese I eat in a day.

America has more varieties of cheese than any other country in the world.
While they can be roughly grouped into 3 categories (White, Orange and Mixed), America isn't limited like other countries to using different milk, surface treatment and aging. Instead they can produce unlimited variety by adding specific amounts of hydrogenated mineral oil, synthetic flavoring, modified starch extracts, industrial waste products and high fructose corn syrup.
There's no end to the ~~creativity~~ profitability!

Sorry, I may have skewed the numbers a little bit.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

This is why it's important to use median, not average. smh

Where would a meal be without a tasty beverage to wash it down with?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Hey this cheese isn't yours, it's nacho cheese.

If I could afford it, I'd eat that much cheese too.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's just 90 eurocoins of cheese Michael, what is it, 10 dollars?

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The pound must have gone to shit after Brexit if this is all that 90 quid'll get you.

Thoughts and prayers for the starving Brits.

It's in their constitution.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I believe they call this American Cheese.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's the average, I eat that for breakfast. My local deli has twice daily cheese shipments just to replace what I had for breakfast.

Nothing beats a sausage, egg, and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese and cheese on a toasted everything bagel.
