 The Moon, Cheese or Rock? By Kate

 The moon. It hangs in the sky, a silver lantern in the night, with craters scarring the surface, but are they really ‘craters’. How about cheese holes?! Recent discoveries proves that the moon isn’t a rock, and is actually a prehistoric cheese.

 Firstly why are there cheese holes all over its surface. Cheese ‘holes’, commonly known as ‘eyes’, come from long fermentation periods. The longer cheese ferments the more time the bacteria has to act. Think about how long the moon has had to ferment, about 4.5 million years! This resulted in the prominent ‘eyes’ on the moons surface. The bigger the holes the tastier the moon cheese! Which leads me to my next point... 

If “NASA” knew that the moon cheddar was so tasty why weren’t we notified? Because the cheese was so tasty it became a danger. Nowadays there are less visits to the moon- the last manned visit was in 1976. NASA quoted “Without the right technology we cannot land on the moon, it is too dangerous”. They are currently working on a device to help solve the problem.

Lastly, ‘rocks’ from the moon have been tested and proved to be cheese. The moon rock is cheese but the milk products in the cheddar give the moon a white appearance. Dr Cream commented “The moon has unusual fermenting properties that suggested that the cheddar was an ancient flavour, a forgotten taste.”

The moon. A giant cheese ball in the sky. Though it still guides us during the night, the moon will now help us change the future of dairy products. No longer will it be a neglected flavour.
