Bro, insecure meat eaters are such pieces of shit.
- You know cheese isn't meat, right?
- What has eating meat got to do with cheese?
  
  a lot of cheeses use calf rennet.
  Also cheese in general is 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!
  edit: if you're going to downvote me at least reply stating why you think i'm wrong
  
  Also cheese in general is a by product of the meat industry.
  Its more the other way around. Meat is the by product of creating milk. Not all meat is a by product, but some.
  
  Either way round you look at it, one supports the other
  
  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!
  
  You'd think so. i'm not even vegan. i'm just concious about where my food comes from
  
  Mmmm, veal.
  
  insightful
  
  Slice'm all up and put it on a board. Yum yum
- 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.
  
  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."
  Found it: Pressure cooker jalapeno popper chicken chili
  I did the bacon in the oven then I made country potatoes in the bacon grease. I didn't add the corn, beans, and potatoes until it was done cooking so they wouldn't turn to mush. Probably some other minor tweaks here and there, but it seems like a very flexible and forgiving recipe. So feel free to put your own spin on it!
  
  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.
  
  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
- meatlets upset it tastes better
