Far from suggesting anyone stop chasing a cheesy dream, we&#8217;re simply encouraging you to update the nature of the cheese for everyone&#8217;s benefit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cows are gentle, intelligent animals who, when given the chance, will nurture their young and form lifelong friendships with one another-pleasures denied them on dairy farms. Cows confined by the dairy industry are repeatedly forcibly impregnated and separated from their bellowing calves so humans can loot their mammary secretions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And cows&#8217; milk is meant for baby cows, not humans, which is why people who consume dairy are at greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other ailments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/05\/19\/historic-cheese-rolling-festival-asked-to-use-the-vegan-kind-instead-18813406\/\"><em>The Metro, <\/em><\/a>&#8220;organisers of the competition said they are too busy preparing for Monday to respond to the letter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/feature\/uks-annual-cheese-rolling-contest-gets-a-request-from-animal-rights-body-4050503\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Former winners of Cooper&#8217;s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake.
