It just seems so extravagantly wasteful to ruin a several pounds of good tasting cheese when so many people are just scraping by or going hungry and can't even afford a small block of cheese. Maybe the folks at Stilton could donate cheese to feed the poor instead.

Like that yearly town tomato-fight in Spain or wherever. Let's stop wasting food whenever it's possible.
