Vegetarians (Not vegans, obviously) do you eat cheese?!


Question:

Vegetarians (Not vegans, obviously) do you eat cheese?

Several years ago, when I decided to become a vegetarian, I thought I was doing well until I found out that I should not have been eating cheese because most cheese-makers use animal rennet in their cheese.

I have found several cheese products that contain microbial rennet, which is okay to eat, but some fast food places won't guarentee where their rennet originates.

Why aren't people more aware of this? It really irks me that fast food places will call something "vegetarian" when it has cheese in it.
Anyone else have a similar experience?


Answers:
Yes, I eat cheese. Vegans do not eat anything with animal biproducts...but cheese I do eat

I'm a lacto-ovo vegitarian and i eat cheese and dairy products. I figure why not? i just choose not to eat the flesh of warm blooded animals.

Vegetarian is the case, not vegan. To information you try the web site. I like the cheese as a vegetarian, fish, also.

well i guess you have to start making your own cheese!!!!!!!!

man but r u giving up cheese? i love cheese. go for cheddar

I am a vegetarian since I know myself like person.
But, i am not radical. I eat cheese, eggs , cream cheese, drink milk. I am vg. because I hate meat!
It do not have explanation. I do not get to eat meat!I think it nauseating!

When I became a vegetarian I also swore off all fast food restaurants. Better to be safe than sorry.

my mum will only let me eat cheese without rennen in it. before i was a vege head i didnt even care. it was hard to give up my sushi!

Actually only the pricey restaurants use animal rennet! Cheap places like MacDonalds use imitation cheese. Wendy's says their cheese is made from non-animal bacteria. It's extremists that worry about animal rennet..
You can get your animal rennet free cheese
from Health food stores!

well, if u like too. there are so many types of vegetarians. lacto-ovo for instance, they can eat cheese. i eat cheese barely but not in a way that i eat 1 whole wheel of cheese. that's insane. it think you can eat too! have a nice day!

You know, there's vegetarian cheese.

I eat lots of cheese. My dad even has high cholestrol from eating too much cheese and hes a vegetarina. My sister loves to eat cheese and she is big, even though she is a vegetarian. I like the cheese in taco bell bean burritos. my favorite cheese is Jarlsberg or Havarti.
I dont care about rennet. I have amended my threshold of tolerence so that I dont freak out about things like that.

i eat cheese. i haven't heard of the rennet thing yet, but i will continue to eat cheese while i look into it. thanks for teh question and happy new year!

My aunt eats cheese and she's a vegetarian. She has been for about ten years.
