For the first time since eating vegan, I have been presented with a eating situation that I was not able to make a quick, confident decision about.
My best friend has just begun making his own cheese. He gets the milk for his cheese from a friend and neighbor nearby who has a couple cows. I have not been able to see the conditions that the cows live in yet, but from what my friend says they graze on grass and are happy and healthy. Also, my friend assures me that the process he uses results in lactose free cheese. It is also worth mentioning that my friend is a chef and food is one of his greatest passions.
I haven't put an enormous amount of time or research into this particular type of situation and how it effects the planet. I am curious to see the input from the vegan community on this type of situation.
So, what would you do? Would you eat your best friends homemade cheese from local, grass-fed cows living on a small farm? What other aspects would you take into consideration?
Excited to read replies, thank you
