The next time you pass by a wheel of Parmesan cheese look at it with a little respect for while you may think of it as something to sprinkle over your pasta, for some Italians it is as precious as gold and even, used as collateral in exchange for small loans.

        Cheese is actually ok for an athlete. Plus, its a good way to get all your depleted salt back after a workout...

                  I could be wrong (I read this on the internet), but rats actually do eat cheese. They eat pretty much everything. Mice, on the other hand, don't eat cheese (I think it might be poisonous to them, but I'm not sure).

                    Yep! Mice will actually eat anything put before them, as long as its not toxic!

                        What do mice like, then? Once, I saw someone who had set a mousetrap, and instead of putting cheese in it, they put a little piece of chocolate! The next day, there was a little grey mouse in the mousetrap! It was so cute, but the person killed it. : ( But I guess mice like chocolate, too.

                                      Yeah, The Cheesecake Factory is kind of like a fancy restaurant, so there isn't just desert there.
