04.20.08 Cheese It!

This morning I was reading about cheese on Wikipedia (I know! My life is insane!), and I learned that the U.S. is the #1 cheese producer in the world, making 4,275,000 metric tons of cheese per year.

But what about cheese consumption? We're not even in the top 10!

Greece is first, with 27.3 kilograms per person per year, while the U.S. is at a lowly 14.1 kilograms per person per year.

C'mon U.S. of A.! We call ourselves a nation of over eaters and we're not even in the top 10 of cheese consumption?!

...Or maybe it's just that all that "artificial cheese" in Nacho Cheese Doritos doesn't count towards our consumption average. Hmm.
