Bro, insecure meat eaters are such pieces of shit.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago

You know cheese isn't meat, right?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What has eating meat got to do with cheese?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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!

Slice'm all up and put it on a board. Yum yum

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and cheese often contains cow.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Holy shit, they put actual cows in cheese?

No. No they don't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago

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
