    The classic “would you rather” question: for the rest of your life give up chocolate or cheese.

    I could never give up pizza.

      Cheese has physically addictive properties. The casein protein (Which is also what causes curdling) is digested into casomorphins, which can bind to opioid receptors in the same manner as dopamine.

      I’m keeping cheese, definitely. There are plenty of things that taste like chocolate but aren’t actually chocolate, like Hershey’s.
