It may be a symbol of excess, but that's just it... it's a symbol. With the way food is distributed around the world, more food gets just discarded for no reason every day than they used to build these.

So I'll just preempt serious comments in the same vein by pointing out that there is not a fixed amount of food production, and if some people go without enough it's not because other people are wasting cheese. If people wasted less, it would just mean farmers would produce less.

I would reserve that particular crown for "American Cheese." Given that there are some really good cheeses made in America, it's really sad that we got saddled with the worst cheese outside of a can being called American. Seyo, that's a really hypocritical and ridiculous position to take. Besides, how do you know the cheese was not eaten?

I love it so much that i can't even fault bad cheese for being awful. At a party the other night, I looked in disgust at their pedestrian cheese plate and then proceeded to eat it all. That being said, this is awesome and the cheese itself looks perfect for grating and putting between two slices of buttered bread for the grilling. I love cheese.
