I love cheese as well. I eat it a lot more at home because my mom always eats it. My favorite snack growing up was melted cheese on crackers and now I enjoy it with hot sauce. I remember one vacation in particular where we went through so much cheese it was ridiculous. It was like if your are hungry go eat cheese!I'm not sure why but the fact about Wisconsin forcing restaurants to serve cheese is funny to me.
