Sure why not? Add to the delicious medley of microplastics and persistent organic pollutants, what could go wrong!

My Parmesan cheese comes from Wisconsin and I think it's good.

The more local cheese makers the better, as long as it does not call itself Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Can't wait for the nutcases to come out of woodwork and claim this is a way to control the population 🙈

The COVID vaccines were a distraction; this is where the chips are really going

I wonder how close they are to realm parmesan, those counterfeited cheeses.

Parmigiano Reggiano is truly something special.

There exist (cheaper) cheeses made in a similar style, but no serious manufacturer will call it Parmigiano Reggiano, or even Parmesan. Usually have their own brand.

Or you can make your own https://youtu.be/s1k1w7SnNEY
