DCBD 14(河南省郑州市第47中学高一第一次月考) American hunger for cheese was reduceda bit when consumers traveled and ate less following the year of 2001. Now their appetite is back and they are eating more cheese than ever. Most of the demand is being fed by household suppliers, and California’s mega-dairies are growing so fast that experts expect the state to overtake Wisconsin in cheese production within two years. California is already the nation’s leading milk producer, and with the help of cheese makers like Hilmar Cheese Company-the largest in North America-the state has doubled its cheese production in the last ten years. In 1995, California made 70 varieties of cheese. Now there are 250 types of cheese coming out of the state. One in every 10 pounds of cheese eaten is a higher-quality, value-added cheese. Ten years ago, only one in 15 pounds of cheese eaten was a specialty. Most of it is common cheese, but Americans are also eating much more cheese. It is good news for California’s dairies . By pooling their resources, farmers could turn some of the high-protein, high-fat milk coming from their brown cows into cheese, a value-added product that would bring in a little extra cash. When they started the Hilmar Cheese Company in 1984, the 12 families together brought in 250,000 pounds of milk a day-a drop in a bucket for a company that now processes 10 million pounds of milk a day from more than 270 producers-about 10 percent of all the milk produced in California. Cheese has great healthful value, and brings calcium (钙) back into diets. But it also makes food taste better, making it easier to eat too much. “It’s terrible that we’re eating more cheese, but bottom line, all calories count, said Stern, who also suggests people should try to eat cheese in different ways, with pears or apple slices-expanding their diets.
