Reply to comment by SentientKeyboard in [OC] Argentina & Venezuela Produce More Cheese Than Switzerland by latinometrics

I mean, I'm just looking at the cheese you eat (stuff like cheddar!).

You might have incredible cheese, but if it's only eaten by 1% of the population, it can't be compared to cheese from other countries that most people eat in these countries.

In that case, the majority of it that's being consumed is just as run of the mill as the cheeses in the US. And we're talking actual cheese, not a comparison in bad faith between American "cheese products" and actual European cheese, but the cheese that gets counted in production statistics as cheese. Just because people make up a specific word to call it and slap a PDO sticker on it doesn't make it more special.
