Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Hi, Gee, this rennet discussion/disagreement/something-or-other certainly is going on to a somewhat great length. It would seem that there is a lot of confusion on the two terms, rennin and rennet. I don't know. Honest. Nevertheless I did find two interesting web pages (well, I thought they were interesting and I certainly hope they don't increase the contentiousness. <http://www.wholefoods.com/healthinfo/rennet.html> I thought it was a good thing that Whole Foods would have a web page about this. They have some info about rennet and rennin there too. I also found this page: <http://www.foodreference.com/html/fcheeserennet.html> about an herb called " Cheese Rennet " . I also thought that was interesting. I suppose the web is sort of like statistics. You can find things on the web (and in statistics) to prove or disprove any point or opinion you have. Always good to keep that in mind. Just one more thing and I apologize if I'm not quoting this quite right. There was a statement made that said something to the effect that the use/intake/whatever of cheese and milk aided the veal industry. I think that statement is way too broad of a statement. I think there are instances where it might be true and I think there are instances when it is not true. I don't have any web pages or books or facts to support my statement on this but I think common sense might just enter into the picture. If someone gets milk or cheese from a farmer they know and they're totally (whatever that is) aware of the condition of the farm and production on the farm and there is no killing of young calves or mistreatment of the calves or cows than I think you just cannot say that this contributes to the veal industry. Does that make sense or am I just out of my mind (always a possibility)? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Be careful, thats the exact same website i used (wholefoods) for information, which relies on the Webster's dictionary definition of the term Rennet, so you may be accused of spreading 'misinformation'... lol don't worry though, I don't think DaveO is gonna read it:D -K- --- gsmattingly wrote: > Hi, > > Gee, this rennet > discussion/disagreement/something-or-other > certainly is going on to a somewhat great length. > It would > seem that there is a lot of confusion on the two > terms, > rennin and rennet.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Thanks, Gary. Your links clearly show " why " there is confusion over these terms.
