    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!

        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
