You might want to think twice next time you buy Parmesan cheese from Court Street’s fancy Union Market. A reader sent this pic in yesterday, horrified after watching wheel after wheel of cheese come out of the van, only to be placed carelessly on the same ground his dog had just peed on. Stinky Brooklyn, here we come!

Uh…that’s the wax of the cheese, not anything that you eat. Do you even wonder how and what that touches as it travels all of the way from Italy? Get over it.
People do use the rinds of Parmesan. And you can certainly get over it if you’d like.
If I understand the scenario correctly, the reader’s dog peed on the sidewalk (not in the street like it’s supposed to) then they started unloading the parmesan and the reader chose to take a picture of it rather than inform them of what was happening?
Your shame is misdirected.
Did your toddler write this? It’s “buy” not “by.”
Wow, tough crowd. Thanks for the copy editing on the “by/buy”–and do try to remember, I don’t get paid for this. It is a labor of love and sometimes I do not have time to edit it as well as I’d like. If you could possibly try not to make me feel so badly when I make a mistake, it would be much appreciated. I’ll change it now.
