"Cheese is not meant for human consumption"

Someone just said this to me. I love hard cheese. But I also love a lot of things this person doesn't, as they avoid entire food groups including dairy. I also love research/studies. So... discuss.
Why is cheese meant or not meant for human consumption?
What studies are available that I can review on this topic?
Thanks.

How anyone could get anything that smells like that past their nose and into their mouth and then chew it and swallow it is truly a human mystery.
I've never eaten cheese in my life. Aside from a very occasional slice of pizza where the smell and taste of the cheese is disguised by the pork toppings and the tomato sauce. And even still, it skeeves me a little.
I understand the personal opinion because of the smell. I won't eat okra because of the smell.
But, opinions aside, I just want information as to why it's bad for human consumption LOL.0 -
What is it meant for then? Painting a picture?0

Neither is seaweed, but people still eat it.0

She is probably referring to the fact that cows produce milk to feed their babies, like all mammals. Not so adult humans can make the baby into veal and then suck at mama cow's teats....0

How is it not meant for human consumption? How far back should we go before something is considered natural or unnatural for humans? I would argue that some foods are more recent so technically more in the realm of 'not meant for human consumption' than cheese. The earliest guesses for when cheese was first made go back to about 8000 BC, the same as bread. So is bread not meant for human consumption, too? Bread, milk and cheese are some of the earliest foods civilized humans made! What about fish that live in the middle of the ocean and were not able to be caught until the last few hundred years?
I'm really not seeing your friend's point, or what they have against delicious (and healthy, if it fits your calories/macros...hello calcium!) food.0 -

You could stack the wheels to make a coffee table, like in Skyrim.

What?
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or actually confused. Assuming the latter, let me spell it out: Cheese is made from the milk of a cow (or goat). Cows don't make milk for humans, not willingly anyway. They produce it for their babies. The dairy industry operates by taking away the baby to slaughter or other uses and taking the milk for us humans.
Milk (and yogurt, cheese, other things we make from milk) is meant for baby cows. Not adult humans.

There are studies citing that calcium may inhibit iron adsorption and that dairy consumption can actually pull calcium from the bones to stabilize blood pH. With all of the conflicting nutrition info out there, who knows.0

Whether humans are capable of enjoying the taste... or capable of digesting it...or powerful enough over cows to steal it... is a different question from whether milk and milk products are MEANT for us. They are meant for the babies of the animals that produce them.0

In for the inevitable arguing.
OT: I don't know of any unbiased, scientific studies stating that cheese is "bad" for human consumption (allergies excluded).

Mice don't pad their bones with meat for cats, either.
"Intent" is irrelevant....

Definitely not for human consumption. Pure evil !0

Last week I watched the best show on the history of cheese. Made me hungry. They followed the whole process all the way until they take they Whey and make protein powder. Pretty interesting.
Oh yea, get new friends OP
Sounds interesting, I love those "How it's made" tv shows so I'll have to find it and check it out.0 -
the only cheese not meant for human consumption is Kraft singles.0

THANKYOU!! That's exactly what I was thinking, lol. It just irks me when people say "(insert food here) is bad/not meant for human consumption/unhealthy" etc and just LEAVE IT AT THAT with nothing else to go by but their word.

Exactly. I just assumed that there must be SOME study out there that at least partially backs up what they believe is so wrong with cheese. But apparently there isn't or, if there is, no one has posted anything about one yet.0 -

You could then argue that no food is MEANT for us. Those strawberries? They're there for birds and small mammals to eat, because they then poop out the seeds to make more strawberry plants. The wheat in that bread? Same thing, it's actually meant for small mammals. The yeast in bread? Not meant for us either, just something that wants to multiply. Seeds, like sunflower seeds? Their purpose is to fall to the ground to make more sunflowers. Even if you argue that eating fruit could be for us because we defecate too (though no longer onto the ground) seeds can't survive if we chew them, which we do for sunflower seeds and things like pomegranate.
I think that any food that we can eat that doesn't kill us can be meant for us.0 -
