Total natural cheese production expanded from a robust 418 million pounds in 1920 to a whopping 2.2 billion pounds in 1970. By the beginning of the '90s, production had exploded to more than 6 billion pounds a year. Six billion pounds of cheese -- that's like 40 million average-sized people made out of cheese! In addition, consumer demand pushed processed cheese production in the early '90s to exceed 2 billion pounds a year.
For gods sake just go and make a green salad...and then shave some parmesan onto it...or make a spag boll...(incidently for that extra taste throw a couple of anchovies into the sauce...beautiful doesn't taste fishy at all)....and serve with dashings of parmesan. Damn off to make a cheese sandwich....or maybe two for lunch.
