No, that's not what I was saying. There have been times where I've eaten about that much cheese in a day, but I've been eating abundant amounts of butter and cheese for much longer than that gentleman and have yet to have encountered any hypercholesterolemic symptoms. I did an experiment for maybe ~4 months around 7 years ago where I ate pretty much nothing but cheese and butter, and I consumed substantial amounts of both. I wish I recorded it properly. It would have been in the multiple of pounds. But outside that experiment, it's not uncommon for me to eat more than a pound of cheese alone in a day.

If it were a given that eating lots of fat leads to extremely high levels of cholesterol, my irises would look at bit strange by now at the very least.

Now excuse me while I go eat about a pound of eggs and cheddar cheese for breakfast. (not a joke)

Ok, so you ate less cheese over a much shorter duration.

During that particular experiment. Without knowing the further details about that subject, I have been eating multiple pounds of highly fatty meat and cheese with the addition of butter daily for several years. It would be surprising to me that 2 to 3 pounds wouldn't show signs of mild hypercholesterolemia but 6 pounds a day would suddenly result in yellow nodules all over the place. It also doesn't make sense for this to happen to someone who isn't hypercholesterolemic based on how cholesterol is normally handled by the liver. It's a tightly regulated system.

How do you even eat 3 kilograms of cheese in one day?

You slice it in small pieces. And add some wine. And a friend to call 911. /s
