You might be interested to know that your powerful cheese-cravings are not a reason for you to continue eating cheese, they are actually a clear sign that you need to STOP eating it … Yes, it is true that most cheese-lovers do feel a bit “edgy” (or literally itchy, or even experience headaches) if they stop eating cheese for a significant period of time. And many of these folks think that this means that they simply “love the taste of cheese” — with some of them even choosing to believe that eating cheese is somehow good for their health. Of course, science has now clearly shown that cheese is actually extremely harmful to the human body (the average slice of cheese is composed of over 70% fat). So we are left to wonder: where does the intense desire to eat cheese come from?

Well, as it turns out, casein — the base protein in cheese — is digested in the human stomach into smaller peptides and a family of active agents called casomorphins — protein fragments that have a strong opioid effect. That’s right, the more you ingest & digest cheese, the more you physiologically crave it … So know you know — You don’t actually crave cheese, my Friends; you are addicted to it. It is an addiction that might feel good when regularly sated, and yet it is an addiction that is slowly yet surely killing you nevertheless.

And yet even though your cheese addiction is a strong one, I have some good news — if you can force yourself to go cheese-free for only three weeks, your withdrawal symptoms will fully dissipate and you will begin to crave cheese no more … Aside from repeatedly reminding yourself that eating cheese has been linked to the development of several forms of cancer, it can be helpful to regularly remind yourself that you never were actually eating “cheese” in the first place … No, when you eat cheese, you are actually eating the coagulated breast milk of a female cow; milk that was coagulated into cheese using rennet taken from the stomachs of freshly killed male calves; milk that was forcibly taken from a cow after she was forcibly impregnated against her will, milk that was forcibly taken from her shortly after her newborn calf was forcibly ripped from her side; milk that was forcibly taken from her shortly before her own throat was ruthlessly slit after she finally couldn’t produce enough milk to make your next piece of cheese.

My Friends, the next time you are about to consume cheese, please remember that you aren’t only eating cheese when you do so … Remember that you are also eating pain … Remember that you are also eating suffering … Remember that you are also eating mourning … Remember that you are also eating death.
