    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.
