Another thing most people aren't aware of is that cheese contains rennet, which comes from the scraped stomach of a baby calf. So not only are the mother cow's babies taken from her and killed, but their dead bodies are used to create cheese from the very milk that nature intended to be theirs. Perhaps forgoing cheese would not seem like a big sacrifice if people knew the real sacrifices being made by the animals involved.Jennynoreply@blogger.com
