While there is no meat in the cheese per se, many vegetarians consider cheeses made with animal rennet (ostensibly, from calves' stomachs--the calves that are slaughtered so that they don't drink the milk) to be vegetarian. You know, because an animal had to die for it. There are a lot of non-animal rennet cheeses (Sargento and Tillamook to name two), but I have read that it's darn near impossible to make a hard cheese with anything other than animal rennet.<br/><br/>There's still some controversy over the label of "vegetarian" and there have been many discussions. Many restaurants seem to think that animal broth is vegetarian since it's not meat. Oh, and then there's white sugar refined with bone char...the list goes on. Don't even get me started on how many people think fish and chickens are vegetables ("but you eat fish, right?"). If not for my love of cheese, leather shoes and wool sweaters, I'd be a vegan just so it'd be simpler to explain what I eat and what I don't! The vegetarian cheese thing is a tricky one.
