So just a heads up, as with part one, we're discussing dairy and we also make acknowledgments of animal rights concerns and this week we discuss a bunch of vegan options in more depth too. And this wonderful cheese experts focus isn't dairy farming as an industry, but rather the process of cheese making. And also in the future we have a plant based diet episode coming up. So enjoy.
