I would like to take back any negative statements I may have made in the past regarding the Rainbow Grocery's cheese department. It's a very good cheese department, with many cheeses I've only seen at Artisan, like mimolette and Sally Jackson aged sheep's milk, wrapped in chestnut leaves. On Saturday night there was a very friendly staff person behind the counter, ready to answer any questions. And he gave us free samples of marcona almonds, very tasty. I think my real problem with the Rainbow is not its cheese department but its status as a vegetarian collective and how in other places there would be an alternative to Whole Foods where you could buy bacon and lamb shanks or even a can of tuna for god's sake, but here in San Francisco there is no such place. Portland, Madison, they all have Rainbow-esque stores with MEAT. So it's not the cheese department per se, but shopping while surrounded by people who don't even eat cheese, let alone bacon. I always feel like a majority of Rainbow shoppers don't even particularly like food.

Where do I find reaserch about my science project called "Rainbow Cheese"
Unfortunately, Rosanna, the Rainbow grocery does not sell "Rainbow cheese." It only sells regular cheese, mostly stupid monochromatic cheeses in shades of yellow, orange, white and every once in a while blue or blue-green. Many have funny names, though. Maybe your science project could be called "Cheeses with funny names?"
