      For millions of years, people have been eating the meat of animals. Every day, in butchers, markets, restaurants, factories and other places, the meat of an incredible number of animals is slaughtered, sold, cooked and eaten. Despite this, the number of animals does not decrease even a little. Allah Almighty's kindness to people is infinite. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

    In India, if you make ghee (at home) from the cream of locally bought cow milk, it's pale yellow. While the ghee from brands like Amul and Mother Dairy (I live in the North) is super yellow. However, it is never white. Guess we buy milk from the right place and the cows are grass-fed. Interestingly, cream and ghee from buffalo milk is always white.

      Cheese is a processed food, always has been. So it doesn't matter how you process it as long as you end up with cheese by using cheese raw materials.
      The healthiness of industrial processed cheese is a whole other story though, as food additives can all have consequences.

      When exposed to air, myoglobin forms oxymyoglobin, giving meat its vibrant cherry-red color. This natural process enhances meat's visual appeal. Injecting carbon dioxide to artificially intensify this natural color is largely banned. Many civilized countries view this practice as a deceptive tactic and fraud.

    This seems to mostly be an American thing if its so common across the Atlantic like the video says. I checked my European supermarket's (biggest in the country) cheese section and only 1 cheese product, besides the plastic American cheese (which isn't even in the cheese section here) had it, out of 30+, which is a pre-grated cheese, which are always full of random other products to prevent them from sticking etc.

    Things change over time, sometimes going in cycles. We're so used to cheese being yellow/orange that white cheeses always seemed more exotic to me. So a white Cheddar might seem special compared to the orange cheddar I can find at the store. Or better yet, a cheddar/jack marble cheese, just because it looks different.
