      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    New Englander here. I grew up with pale-yellow cheddar (from farms in New England and New York). The first time I saw 'cheddar' in California, my reaction was 1) is this actually cheddar and 2) is it safe to eat? As a child of the 50s I was very aware that at least one orange dye was bad.
    I ate the first bit (Tillamook I think) with trepidation. It tasted the same. Still looks very wrong to me.

    I always thought it was a weird American thing, unless its red leicester, Australian cheeses aren't dyed or coloured in any way except by the flavour additives, nothing added for colour alone.
    If I saw an orange cheddar I honestly wouldn't buy it unless I knew it had mango or red chilli added to it for flavour.

    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.

      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.
      People spend hours on everything in 24 hours. They spend hours watching movies, watching series, watching football, playing games, social networks, reading books, walking, meeting friends and everything else. However, they do not take 10 minutes to worship the Almighty Allah, who created from nothing and gives all his blessings without reciprocation. They do not praise Almighty Allah by prostrating themselves.

      You're missing the point of the video. Unless you know that they're not skimming the cream off, you've always been getting cheese made from inferior milk compared to what would be available if it was from the entire milk product during peak grass growth. Instead of tricking people where you're at with the coloring agents, they just transitioned people into accepting it.
