    20 gallons a year isn’t much at all.

    “Man reasonably consumes cheese” isn’t as catchy I suppose.

      The average American consumes something like 40 lbs of cheese a year per the USDA. I can’t tell you how much a gallon of cheese weighs but it seems like it’s a fair bit more than 2 lbs each.

        Per Google, and doing the math, a gallon of cheese is 8 pounds (roughly 4kg). So that’s 160lbs in a year.

        Holy shit that’s a fucking lot of cheese. Someone stop this madman.

          That’s about a pound of cheese every two days. Pretty sure I could hit that number without any trouble at all.

      It’s 0.85 cups per day every day of the year.

      It’s not a lot, but he’s either horrifyingly consistent or floods his body with cheese on a few ritualistic days. I fear either option.
