Not only is cheese an ideal snack, it is also a loyal companion, through thick and thin (literally). We must remember not to favor any particular type; each variety has its own purpose, and we must respect that.

Many cheeses are delectable, but clearly the most useful cheeses are the individually wrapped ones.

For instance, mozzarella string cheese is a great kind of cheese. It is individually wrapped, so you can take it on the go. You can play with it. You can pull it slowly and gracefully, or you can take your aggression out and snap that cheese stick in half. Yes, string cheese is a therapeutic type of cheese.

Another great cheese is the Laughing Cow creamy Swiss cheese. It comes in a circular package, with delicious foil-wrapped triangular-shaped cheese inside. This type of cheese is not solid, not liquid, but something magical in between. You can eat it solo or you can use it as a spread. Multi-practical cheese is a fantastical type of cheese.

Next cheese up is sharp cheddar. I have found a gold mine of this type of cheese: individually wrapped Heluva Good sharp cheddar cheese (literally).

You can even slip some in your pocket for a secret snack. Stealthy cheese is a healthy cheese.

I know some may have a palate for the more sophisticated Roquefort or even Brie, but unfortunately, I do not. I can’t handle the refined complexity of such a cheese. But for those who do and can, embrace your elegant taste, and enjoy the choicest cheese.

So perhaps you get your cheese from the deli, your cheese shipped from Europe, your cheese from the store, your cheese from your friend’s fridge or your cheese from the floor. Either way, cheese is good ‘ and great ‘ and everything in between, and it should be honored as such. So let your guard down, enjoy life a little and admit it: every cheese morsel of heaven ingested satiates your hunger, if not your life, in the most gratifying of ways.
