Seriously? A single adult male with an active lifestyle could survive (calorically speaking) for over a month just on this cheese by itself, without losing any weight. What possible need could there be for that much freaking cheese?
Don't underestimate the calories burned per day hiking. An adult male carrying 40 pounds of gear easily burn 6000 calories a day while hiking. Meaning only 18 days worth of cheese.
Split that between a party of 4 and its about 4.5 days worth of calories.
I vote for more cheese production as we are going to have to stock up because the country is going to go to war. ie also need to make special cheese preservation contraptions to preserve the cheese.
Sorry I just could not resist. But if the numbers are right that is a lot of cheese per day of hiking and explain why when in the Boy Scouts we carried other food and not cheese.

Actually I was carrying 50+ pounds even though I weighed 130 pounds, my pack was heaver then some of the fathers because I was in better shape and took some extra equipment because we had quite a few new members for that hike.
The year before I hiked almost 600 miles with even a Maui Hawaii trip so I was in very good shape vs some of the others in the troop but no where as close to the guy from the 101 who went in on d-day in WWII.MDC

Are you saying that you were carrying 50+ pounds of cheese of 50+pounds of stuff?

A Cheese Ninja would stink!
