Oh? Then I must be unusual (don't answer that!) since I could easily, 
and will, eat much more than that at one sitting. I love almost all 
types of cheese. Besides, it's low carb.

That works. I'm sure there are one or two folks at my table who 
wouldn't eat their cheese, for whatever reason. Besides, "How would you 
like this big portion of yummy asparagus and turnips for your small 
portion of cheese?"

Also, if you provide some bread or crackers with the cheese, many 
people are going to spread the cheese on the bread or slice it and do 
the same, which will make it go further.
