Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Rennet is not from milk, but from a cow's stomach. The sad thing about rennet is that it HAS to be from a baby cow that has never had anything other than milk to eat/drink. Once the cows start to eat other things the enzymes change and it no longer makes the cheese. This is what my college bio professor told us. I am assuming that what was meant by cooper - bad is that it is animal rennet used in the making and not veggie enzymes which according to what I learned in bio is from mushrooms. I stopped eating cheese a few years ago because in the US it's very difficult to tell by packaging if it's veg cheese or not and eating out you most likely will not be able to tell! Now I am totally vegan. The only time I ate dairy anymore anyhow was when eating out and if the cheese wasn't veg I didn't want to eat it... ~Mel __ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Have you followed up to see if it's animal rennet in the cooper cheese? Don't freak out just yet. I once ate a bunch of some cheesy potatos at a banquet and it ended up having rennet in it. Everyone has food they didn't realize was bad. BTW - When I can call my mom this weekend I will find out the cheese she used in hers. I know it was vegetarian. She's going to think I have lost my mind asking about cheese though I haven't touched the stuff in almost 3 years! (except the time I accidently ate some pasta that had parmesean in it! OH MAN was I sick.) --- PuterWitch <puterwitch wrote: > crying, big time > > ok my recipe needs to be altered in the archives, I > guess change it to Kraft American.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Oh, oh...I knew about the stomach part, but not the baby part... If you read the label on cheese and it says rennet, and you care, put it back. If it says vegetable rennet or microbial you are safe...right??!! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
