History of cheese
Long before kings and queens, before people made things out of clay and wrote things down, and before people had metal tools and weapons, there was cheese! Way back in 8000 BCE, people who lived in the Fertile Crescent started making cheese. They were farmers who had sheep and goats, and they would get milk from them. When the milk was left out in the warm air for a while, it would start to get sour and clumpy. The farmers figured out that they could eat the clumps, which were called curds. They could also drain the liquid part, which was called whey. The curds were the start of cheese! People could eat cheese instead of drinking milk because it had less lactose, which is a sugar that some people can't digest well. Cheese was really important because it could be saved for later and eaten during times when there wasn't much food. People in Mesopotamia, which was a big city a long time ago, loved cheese so much that they wrote down how much cheese they had and what kinds of cheese they had. Cheese was really good for people because it had lots of important things like protein, fat, and minerals.

What if all insects suddenly disappeared?
Insect are arthropod invertebrates that belong to the class Pancrustacea. They make up the largest group in the phylum Arthropoda. Insects have an exoskeleton made of chitin, a body with three distinct parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of legs that are jointed, compound eyes, and a single pair of antennae. Unlike other animals, insects have some blood that circulates in an open cavity known as haemocoel and is not completely enclosed in vessels. The insect group is the most varied, comprising of over a million species and more than half of all living organisms known to humankind. It is estimated that there are around six to ten million species of insects, potentially making up over 90% of animal life on earth. Though insects can be found in almost all environments, only a small number of species live in oceans. Research shows that insects are nested within another arthropod group, crustaceans, which dominate marine ecosystems.
