The process of making cheese is to have it curdled with an enzyme called rennet with occurs in animal stomachs naturally. Vegetarian cheese is made with vegetable rennet, fungi or bacteria. To be able to spot the difference between vegetarian cheese and animal rennet cheese is almost impossible unless its marked vegetarian cheese in the store, so watch your vegetarian foods.
The vegetarians that don't eat cheese with animal rennet do so because they believe it causes animals to suffer when being slaughtered to extract the enzyme. Without the properly labeled product a ethically opposed vegetarian has a very hard time in distinguishing it from cheeses that were curdled with plants.
The vegan will not eat cheese at all because cheese is a byproduct of an animal. Many vegans will eat a product called chreese which is a non-soy, natural cheese replacement. This chreese is just one replacement of many. Just go to your local health food store or a organic store and there will be other vegetarian food products to choose from.
If you have being eating cheese and you are a vegetarian you may wish to change your dietary habits. Cheese made with animal rennet may have caused some animal suffering. So you have like three choices, buy cheese alternatives at a health/organic store, purchase vegetarian cheese online and/or look for the label on the cheese that says vegetarian cheese or vegetarian recipe cheese.

Vegetarian Diet and its Advantages on Health
We tend to scoff at vegetarians, call them nuts among the berries, but the fact is they’re doing better than we are,’ says Dr William Castelli, Director of the US government’s Framingham Heart Study in Massachusetts.
Even lacto-ovo-vegetarians,people who eat milk and eggs, live longer (by about three years) than low-meat eaters. For instance, the coronary heart disease mortality among total vegetarians is only 14 per cent. Vegetarians can, of course, have heart attacks, but they occur approximately 20 years later than in the lives of meat eaters. This is a huge difference. And vegetarians live their lives feeling more fit and healthy and suffering from fewer bouts of sickness.
Even doctors, who have been slow to recognize the importance of nutrition to health, are beginning to concede to the scientific evidence that has been accumulating for about a hundred years. The ultra-conservative British Medical Association has released a report stating categorically that vegetarians live longer than meat eaters. Vegetarians, the report concludes, have a 28 per cent lower risk of dying from heart disease and a 39 per cent lower risk of dying of cancer.
Scientists only make idiots of themselves when they refuse to face the implications of their work. What they should be asking now is what it is about meat that kills: the human machine is not designed to deal with it, so it becomes a poison. According to Arthur Upton, director of the National Cancer Institute in the USA: ‘Upto 50 per cent of all forms of cancer are caused by diet. Colon cancer should be the most apparent indicator because that is where problems with digestion show up. There is not a single population group in the world with a high meat intake which does not have a high rate of colon cancer.’ Here are some statistics:
• World populations with high meat intakes which do not have correspondingly high rates of colon cancer: None.
• World populations with low meat intakes which do not have correspondingly low rates of colon cancer: None.
• Increased risk of breast cancer for women who eat meat daily compared to women who eat meat less than once a week: four times higher.
• Increased risk of breast cancer for women who eat eggs daily compared to women who eat eggs less than once a week: three times higher.
• Increased risk of breast cancer for women who eat butter and cheese three or more times a week compared to women who eat these foods less than once a week: three times higher.
• Risk of death from heart attack of average animal food eater: 50 per cent.
• Risk of death from heart attack of average vegetarian: 15 per cent.
• Risk of death from heart attack of average purely vegetarian: four per cent.
• Amount you reduce your risk of heart attack by reducing your consumption of meat, dairy products and eggs by 10 per cent: nine per cent.
• Amount you reduce your risk of heart attack by reducing your consumption of meat, dairy products and eggs by 50 per cent: 45 per cent.
• Amount you reduce your risk of heart attack by reducing your consumption of meat, dairy products and eggs by 100 per cent: 90 per cent.
• Rise in blood cholesterol from consuming one egg per day: 12 per cent.
• Rise of heart attack risk from 12 per cent rise in blood cholesterol: 24 per cent.
• Meat, dairy and egg industries claim there is no reason to be concerned about your blood cholesterol as long as it is ‘normal‘. Your risk of dying of a disease caused by clogged arteries if your blood cholesterol is ‘normal’: over 50 per cent. Your risk of dying of a disease caused by clogged arteries if you do not consume saturated fat and cholesterol: five per cent.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a group of 4000 of the top doctors in America recently put out their own Four Basic Foods chart, much to the chagrin of that powerful lobby, the meat and diary industry. The ‘basic’ foods are: whole grains; vegetables; legumes; and fruits. There is no mention of meat or dairy products as being essential food groups necessary for human nutrition and health. The PCRM’s position is that the less we eat of this stuff the better. Many of these physicians have themselves become vegetarian simply on the strength of the nutritional studies on human beings.

Vegetarian Food Application…?
Facebook is a great tool that has helped Internet Private Investigators such as myself find out vital information like whether the head cheerleader got fat, or if Danny ever outgrew the “awkward phase”.
It’s fun! You don’t have to wait for those uncomfortable high school reunions that you were probably going to blow off anyway to find out what happened to everyone.
Yes, he got fat. Wow, she found someone to marry her? Damn, is that even him? When did he get hot? I can’t believe she wore that at her wedding. He actually… graduated from college… and got a job?! So that’s what she looks like when she’s not strung out. Crazy.
It also helped me reconnect with a lot of old friends that I never thought I would get a second chance with; you know, the ones with whom we sadly lost touch. You forgot to call. They didn’t email. Etc.
Then came the advent of the Facebook Application.
On that day, my life as a happy Facebook-er ended. On that day 99.9% of Facebook notifications became meaningless. It’s become so bad that there are now FACEBOOK APPLICATIONS that tell other people that you ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FACEBOOK APPLICATIONS. They’re everywhere, and they cannot be escaped. I will not lie and say I don’t use any; I have the Washington Redskins Fan application and a few others. Nothing too substantial.
A majority of the applications, however, are ridiculous.
No, I don’t want an ugly plant baby as a gift to grow in my virtual garden. No, I don’t want to be your Vegan Partner in Crime. No, I don’t care how compatible our ethnic heritage is. No, you cannot OWN me. And I definitely don’t want to know what Britney Spears song I am, and I don’t care what song you are either!
What I don’t get is how people don’t realize how obnoxious these applications are. And don’t even get me started on “poking”. Seriously, it’s about as effective as winking at someone on Match.com.
I really wish I could yell at kids to get off my virtual Facebook lawn. And the next application they throw through my window, I’m keeping.
Damn, kids and their “Mob Wars”. I miss the good ol’ days.

Toronto Vegetarian Food Fair
Every year the Toronto Vegetarian Association puts on a Food Fair at Harborfront Centre. Admission is free, and there are tons of vegetarian and vegan businesses there, so it’s worth checking out if you are interested in vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. They’ve got food vendors (some of which give out free samples), health and wellness booths, vegetarian clothing, cookbooks, reusable bags and bottles, cooking ingredients, and even pots and pans. There is also an entire tent dedicated to ‘political’ causes like PETA, Earthroots, and of course the Vegetarian Association itself.
The event advertises itself as ‘BYOR’: Bring your own reuseables (plates and cutlery). However, if you don’t have your own, don’t worry - a lot of the food is served on a stick kabob style, or on napkins.
Today is the last day of 2008’s fair. Unfortunately it looks like it’s going to rain most of the day, but most of the vendors are in tents, so you shouldn’t get too soggy if you want to check it out.
