You know that most cheese is made with rennet, right? And you know where rennet comes from, right? If you don’t, well, brace yourself.
Rennet is derived from the enzymes in a newborn baby calf’s stomach. That’s right, nearly as soon as the baby is born, they slaughter it to get those enzymes so that they can make the cheese from the milk that its mother will no longer be able to feed it. (Heartbreaking, isn’t it?)
-coming from a vegetarian anyway-
So in the end there is meat in most cheeses.
But its not meat though.
