Cheese is created by the addition of certain bacteria to milk. It involves an animal product, but (when done properly) which is taken in such a way that it helps relieve the animal and does not harm it in any way.
Americans buy processed cheese more than any other
Cheddar, mozzarella, asiago, monterey jack, provalone and many other cheeses natural unprocessed cheeses. The cheese that comes in a can that you would squirt on crackers is processed. Velveeda cheese is another processed cheese!
That depends what you mean by "bad" and which cheese. Cheese that is beyond its prime can be dried out, moldy, yeasty or smelly. Cheese that has been improperly processed and is contaminated doesn't necessarily have any visible signs that it is bad.
Cheese is made with animal milk, especially from cows, goats, sheep, and not from the skins of any animal, cheetah included.
No; Black Diamond cheeses- Old Cheddar, Extra Old Cheddar &any Processed Cheese (cheese slices &cheeses spreads) contain animal rennet. But, probably best avoid it if you're unsure.
Cheese Whiz belongs in the dairy food group.
No, It is made from the separation of milk from any animal that can produce milk.
Depends what you mean by cheese spread. If you are talking about cheese whiz or any form of processed cheeses, then NO. Cheese cake is made with cream cheese because it needs to be able to form into a solid "cake" like texture. Cheese spread cannot harden unless it dries out.
No fish do not eat cheese puffs. Cheese puffs are a manufactured food for humans, and should not be given to any animal, including fish.
In normal cheese, yes. It is in the animal rennet, normally from calves. However there is an ever increasing number of vegetarian cheeses which use plant rennet rather than animal products.
A vegan doesn't eat anything derived from animals or insects. Examples: any dairy (milk, cheese, whey, yogurt, kefir, eggnog), eggs in any form, (from scrambled eggs to a doughnut which contains eggs), and obviously a vegan must meet the criteria of a vegetarian, in that they don't eat any meat, (and yes this DOES include chicken, fish and any other sea creature).Some things often overlooked by people are:HoneyGelatin; which is in almost all gummy candy some breath mints, marshmallows, and many cereals.Sugar processed with charred animal bones.Vegans do not eat any animal products or food that is processed with animal products. So they do not eat meat, fish, eggs, dairy, honey, gelatin, sugar, and natural flavoring as it can be anything from plant by-product to muscle tendons. Most companies will tell you what the natural flavoring is in their products. There are also many types of alcohol that are processed with animal products.
Yes, but companies get around this by marketing products as something other than cheese. You will notice that many of them are labelled "cheese food" because that's different from cheese. I believe that in Canada they are much stricter, but in the US you can have a lot less cheese in a product. For example, the product known as "american cheese" does not exists in Canada, as it's actually processed in block form. Here, it would have to be packaged as "cheese food" or "cheesy" product. In Canada, you never see blocks of processed cheese, except for Velveeta, which is labelled a "cheese spread." The legislation around this is very complicated, but the link in related links may be helpful.
