so, at least when it comes to this type of cheese, its the same whether i buy it as boar's head from a nicer grocery store or if i buy it as member's mark from sams club. ICK. boars head seems like a better cheese but i guess ive been brainwashed hard. good to know. this is the part of the reason ive signed up for iwaspoisoned.com and never looked back. its really opened my eyes. thanks to this site for existing and keeping up with reports. youre doing an incredible thing.
