      You realize this wasn’t meat eaters but cheese makers, right?

        Yes, and cheese often contains cow.

          Holy shit, they put actual cows in cheese?

          No. No they don’t.

            no, they just foribly impregnate cows every single year of their life, take away their calves the second they are born to take the milk from their overloaded udders until they collapse or stop being comercially viable. Then they are killed. Just like their male children a few weeks after being born.

            The milk industry is arguably more cruel than the meat industry. We should reject both

            They do, it’s called rennet

              Most cheeses don’t use natural rennet anymore. About 70% of worldwide cheese production uses artificial “vegetarian” rennet. And you can easily look up those who still use rennet harvested from calfs so you can avoid them.

            I mean, they do make cheeses with embedded bit of meat, but that’s usually pig (specifically bacon).

              Oh what if you added bacon to pepper jack. Little bits of peppers in cheese is freaking delicious. Add bacon to it and it’s like a slice of jalapeno poppers lol

                I made a jalapeno poppers soup that was really good recently. I’ll post the recipe if I find it again, or just Google “jalapeno poppers soup.”

        a lot of cheeses use caft rennet.

        Also cheese in general a by product of the meat industry. You can’t have a lactating cow without keeping it perpetually pregnant, Where do you think those calves go?

        I promise you it ain’t a nice meadow where they get to live out the rest of their “natural” lives frolicking

        And then when the milk eventually dries up the dairy cow gets deadded too… FUN!

          Its more the other way around. Meat is the by product of creating milk. Not all meat is a by product, but some.

          I appreciate the response and see no reason to downvote you - and you are at a net positive so clearly more people are up voting.

          Your bias is very clear, but then so is mine!
