Whatever dietary promises you
made, a good approach to food is to eat a balanced diet (a well-worn phrase,
but a good mix of different foods in moderate amounts seems wise) and to
understand more about where your food originates and what it contains.
We certainly care more about
the use of additives, rearing of livestock and source of origin than we did in
the past, which is very positive. Of course, the more we make our own foods,
using locally sourced ingredients where possible, or at least those with a
reliable provenance, the more we can be sure of what we’re eating.
You may bake your own bread,
make meals from scratch and even grow some of your own veg, so why not add
cheese making to your list? By making your own cheese you can select the type of
milk you use (sheep’s, cow’s or goat’s) from your preferred source, use our high
quality rennet (including vegetarian and GM free) and cultures/starters and add
natural flavourings and herbs of your choice for added interest. That way
you’ll know exactly what’s in your cheese and how it was made!
