America has too much cheese, and now we have to eat it all

We’re used to hearing that our favorite foods are becoming more scarce (never forget the chocolate shortage of 2014), but luckily for us, the tables have turned. The U.S. is currently overloaded with a historic surplus of tasty, tasty cheese.
