I can confirm, without the slightest hesitation or reservation, that Dr. Neal Barnard is absolutely correct. I've been addicted to cheese all my life. It's true...even when I concluded that it was partially responsible for massive, mucous-in-the-braincase allergy attacks, I'd still eat it right off the big econo-block.
Dr. Barnard maintains that cheese contains minute traces of morphine produced in cows' livers, which accounts for its addictive nature. I don't know about the science, there, but it would certainly explain that time I woke up on the bathroom floor with a leather belt around my bicep and a syringe full of Cheez-Whiz stuck in my arm...
That explains a lot!

I'm trying hard to find something cheesy to say, but I can't. I don't think I've met many people who don't love cheese. But, the first time I tried to introduce my son to a good strong blue cheese, his words were "OMG I think I'm going to f***ing throw up."
I think I probably had that reaction when I was his age. (Especially when you know the blue stuff is MOULD!)

Cheese is addictive? Damn! That means the U.S. government will eventually get around to outlawing that too.
I love cheese, especially extra-sharp cheeses and strong stinky cheeses.
