                                Approximately 90% of commercially produced cheese in the U.S. now uses microbial or fermentation-produced rennet, making many options suitable for vegetarians. However, this doesn't apply universally, leading to the common question: **Am I vegetarian if I eat cheese?** The answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no, especially when considering the specifics of your personal nutrition diet.
