If you haven't noticed, there are less and less holes in swiss cheese. But, why is that? Swiss cheese with no holes is like Tanya without funky hair.

Researchers at a government agricultural institute say that contrary to a century of scientific belief, the holes are caused by hay particles, not bacteria, and modern milking is just too clean. In the old days, "microscopically small" flecks of hay would fall into the milk-collecting buckets in barns and helped those fun holes to form.

It's just not as much fun to look at because I picture a mouse making the holes.

But over the last 15 years, the holes in swiss cheese have been vanishing and the researchers say this is because modern industrial milking methods don't expose the milk to open barn environments, let alone dirty buckets. So, the good news is your swiss cheese is a lot cleaner and healthier. (BBC)

I love my cheese but it would not be a deal breaker if my swiss cheese was missing the holes. What do you think?
