    People who have a hard time digesting cheese because it is so rich should give goat cheese a try. Ounce for ounce, cheese made from goat's milk packs about the same protein, vitamins, and, yes, fat as cow's milk cheese (and offers slightly more calcium). But since goat's milk contains smaller fat globules than cow's (the smaller the animal, the smaller the fat blobs), the resulting cheese is easier for the digestive system to absorb. If you're lactose intolerant, the news gets even better: Goat cheese is naturally low in lactose, thanks to lactic acid bacteria cultures used in the cheese-making process that consume the hard-to-stomach milk sugar, leaving a nearly lactose-free finished product.
