It may simply be that as the final humans have been removed from the
cheesemaking equation, they're draining it less, either as a time-saving
measure, or as a weigh to add free additional weight to every package,
and charge you the same price. There may be some other, perfectly
legitimate reason, but I don;t know what it might be.
Me, I stay awake nights (well, not often) wondering why the little knob
at the base of the head of celery is getting smaller. And no, it isn't
_really_ the same thing as celeriac. I wonder if it's a function of
mechanical harvesting, or if the plant itself has been changing over the
years since this forgotten tidbit became one of my favorite things.
