Does anyone else get annoyed when someone finds out you are a vegeterian and they ask you if you eat cheese and you say yes and they say "THAT CAME FROM A COW!" Like you are really stupid and then you have to explain to them that it didn't. Gosh people eat food and they don't even know what or where it came from.
well technically it does. if it wasnt for the cow, giving milk, there would be no cheese. or they could say it came from a cow that was pregnant and then they put a whole bunch of bacteria in it! but its alot easier to leave the bacteria out and just say it came from a cow. because it is an animal by-product.
Also, cheese contains a cow enzyme called rennet, which is extracted from this linging in the cows intestine. I believe this is what makes cheese sticky and gooey. I think it's totally sick. So technically yes, cheese comes from a cow, it just wasn't directly as a whole, part of the cow, like steak for example.. that's a cows a$$.
speaking of people saying annoying stuff, don't you just hate it when you ask for a cheese pizza and everyone says just take he pepperoni off. Why don't you just buy a freakin cheese and add pepperoni? I hate when people say that!!!!

right now im eating cheese and eggs...but im stoping that very soon, ive decided to go vegan. horrible things still have to happen to the animals that produce the milk and eggs in order for these things to be put on store shelfs. but ANYWAYS people are just a$$holes sometimes about vegatarian/vegan lifestyle and are not aware that there are diff. variations of vegetarianism such as lacto-ovo... inform these know it alls..
