- ekianjo 4y ago> that cheese is expensive Not in countries that produce a lot of cheese.
- reedjosh 4y agoBut cheese is probably healthy anyway. It's milk minus the sugars.
- perlpimp 4y agoNot if you smoke cigarettes and eat cheese with bread(like pizza). I feel such studies are dubious for specific people. Instead understanding of kinetics of мetabolic system probably better way forward. That I don't really remember statistics of science experiments.
- reedjosh 4y ago> ...understanding of kinetics of мetabolic system probably better way forward. Completely agree.
- aaaaaaaaata 4y ago> мetabolic metabolic What keyboard layout are you using? =]
- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoor layout(s), more likely!

- hattmall 4y agoCheese isn't necessarily expensive though. Regular block cheese is quite cheap and then you have things like cottage cheese too that are very affordable. The study doesn't say they only look at fancy cheeses.
- MaysonL 4y agoI just bought some cheese: 1pound of sharp cheddar for USD 3.65, listed as 1760 calories. Not very expensive.
- t-3 4y agoThat's more than most meats and vegetables, definitely on the higher side of groceries. Too expensive to eat a whole bunch with every meal.
- MaysonL 4y ago$4 for a day's worth of calories? How much do you spend on food every day?
- quantified 4y agoWhat meat are you buying for $3.65 a pound?
- t-3 4y agoThat's more expensive than chicken, most pork, ground beef, turkey... Obviously, prices depend on location and where you shop, so they may be different, but this has been my experience across a few states (all in the midwest or southwest, though, so my food is probably cheaper comparatively if you're a coastie).
- quantified 4y agoYes, I'm coastal for now and meats are more expensive than basic cheeses, may be reflected in how I shop. Good cheeses, more expensive than meats, but oh boy are they tasty. A nice mimolette or tomme...
- MaysonL 4y agoHow many calories in a pound of chicken, pork, or beef?
- j7ake 4y agoCheese is a common inexpensive staple in Europe. You’re overpaying for cheese.
- DoreenMichele 4y agoOr buying the wrong cheese. Some cheese can be quite spendy.
- quantified 4y agoOr both, overpaying for crap. But this is America, and only the people who travel outside of it learn how food and other things are treated better elsewhere.
- j7ake 4y agoOne should show to Asians how much some of these American versions of tofu are being sold at high end supermarkets like whole foods. Tofu is a poor mans food (a bit like Asian milk free version of cheese), but companies have repackaged it to Americans as fancy.
- quantified 4y agoWhat could be fancier than blocks of fermented soy that generally all taste the same (not that much taste is there)?
