Question

long back cheese was not considered as a vegetarian food why

Answer 1

Just because it is obtained from an animal but nowadays we take it as a vegetarian food because you don't kill an animal for cheese. However, vegans do not eat cheese as it is an animal product...

Answer 2

Long back cheese was not considered as a vegetarian food because cheese is produced from animal source.
