<p>Yes, you can! I often put my cheese and yoghurt out the fridge because I don't like it too cold. It just tastes better at room temperature.</p>

<p>Gee, I don't know, what ever did we do before we invented refrigeration? Did cheese and yogurt spoil in 6 hours? Hardly!</p>

<p>I answered a similar question yesterday about boiled eggs, where my opinion was "not safe"--but these are different. Yogurt and cheese both represent food preservation techniques. Yogurt has beneficial bacteria that out-compete harmful ones and a low pH (acidic), and cheese typically has salt, and considerably less moisture than, say, plain milk. </p> <p>These attributes discourage spoilage--up to a point. Usually 6 hours should be fine, assuming your food-handling technique is responsible (i.e., you don't introduce contamination while packaging). Cheese curds might not fare as well as an aged cheese, because aging cheese further dries it and concentrates salts, etc. But six hours seems fine to me, just be responsible about it (wash your hands before packaging, don't leave in a very warm place or in the sun, etc.) .</p>

<p>No. You will die immediately. Our paleo ancestors always threw away any food not eaten that was left outside of the refrigerator for more than a short time, hungry or not. That's why they lived to pass on their genes. </p> <p>Thank God we have the US Government to protect us from crazy ideas like drinking raw milk and eating unpasteurized cheese. We'd all be dead!</p> <p>And also thank heavens that we are guided to arise and immediately eat granola, and avoid that awful beef altogether in favor in favor of the infinitely more nutritious and delicious soy!</p>

<p>Most cheeses taste better when they are warmed up. Indeed real French cheeses (not the imitation stuff you buy in the US) should only be eaten as it's trying to escape off the plate...</p>
