Many reasons: People crave food for many reasons, but salt and fat, which describes cheese, are two of the ingredients that humans seem to like. If you are stressed, certain foods are comfort foods as well. Because cheese is relatively calorie dense, it is probably not the best choice. See your primary care provider for more information.
