What's the opposite of cheese?

Posted by iwantsomecheese on June 11, 2009 at 4:26 AM

We all know what cheese is, but what isn't it? Put simply, what is the opposite of cheese? I'm going to make a suggestion to get the ball rolling - I think that soap is the opposite of cheese. I look forward to reading all your suggestions over a nice plate of cheese ... not soap!!!

Soap? SOAP!?! It's CHALK that's the opposite of cheese, every schoolboy knows that. They're as different as... well... chalk and cheese! If you think Soap is the opposite of cheese, you're living on a different planet - probably one made of green cheese!!!!!!

Mice eat cheese, mice are the opposite of cats, cats eat fish, so FISH is the opposite of cheese.

Cheese is the opposite of mice. Cats are the opposite of mice. Therefore cats are the same as cheese! And I should know - I'm Emeritus Professor of Symbolic Logic at Oxford University.

i think a unicycle is the opposite of cheese because a unicycle like a bike with one wheel and cheese isnt a bike. also, you cant eat a unicycle or you would get sick. cheese might make you sick if you eat too much, but a unicycle would always make you sick. if you leave cheese out it can go bad, and it can melt in the sun. if you left a unicycle in the sun it would never melt or go bad. you cannot ride cheese, but you can ride a unicycle. and if you tried to ride cheese and you fell off, it probably wouldnt hurt as much as if you were trying to ride a unicycle and fell off.

There are two legitimate schools of thought and they are bitterly divided by this question.

First, the opposite of cheese is (naturally) everything else. All things are either Cheese or Not Cheese. All things that are Not Cheese are equivalent in not being cheese whereas those things that are Cheese (which would include various meta-cheeses such as Cheetos or quasi-cheeses like Velveeta) are all equally Cheese.

The Second interpretation is that the only *meaningful* opposite of Cheese is Cheese itself. Here it is the unique and particular qualities of cheeses in dialectical opposition that signify. For example, Roquefort is the opposite of Tulum Cheese. This avoids the philosophically unsatisfying conclusion that all things are equal in not being cheese and that all cheeses are similarly equal (which anyone who has encountered the anathema of Velveeta must realize is entirely untrue.)
