How To Live A Cheeseless Life
Yes, it is possible.
To cheese or not to cheese? It’s not even a question.
I know you can relate to this one. If I were to name three things I thought were horrible five years ago, one of them would’ve been a cheeseless life. I put that stuff on everything! Melted and solid, shredded and cubed, curds and sauces — it was a regular ingredient in and on a variety of my dishes.
I ate that goop like I was addicted to it. Because I was, and, actually, you probably are, too.
You see, cheese contains something called casomorphins, which are protein fragments that come from casein, a protein found in milk. When cheese is produced, casein and fat become concentrated in the end product, and when they are digested, casomorphins are released into your system.
