hard to tell.

i eat dairy...but only vegetarian dairy. cheese has to be made without rennet, or i won't touch it. (rennet is enzymes from a slaughtered calf's stomach.)

everyone's comfort level is different, i suppose...

those enzymes...that's rennet.

those enzymes are taken from the stomachs of baby cows. cheeses that are made with bacterial enzymes list on their ingredient list that they are from animal-free or bacterial sources.

i've checked with peta, and velveeta is definitely not vegetarian.

i eat small amounts of dairy, including cheeses from such companies as horizon, tillamook, and cabot. i also eat unfertilized eggs.

here's a list of rennet-free cheeses: http://cheese.joyousliving.com/CheeseListBrand.aspx
