The eating of [[camel]]s is strictly prohibited by the Torah | The eating of [[camel]]s is strictly prohibited by the Torah. The Torah considers the camel unclean, even though it chews the cud, or [[Regurgitation (digestion)|regurgitates]], the way bovines, sheep, goats, deer, antelope, and giraffes (all of which are [[Kashrut|kosher]]) do, because it does not meet the [[cloven hoof]] criterion. Like these animals, camels (and llamas) are [[ruminant]]s with a multi-chambered stomach. Camels are [[Artiodactyla|even-toed ungulates]], with feet split in two. However, a camel's feet form soft pads rather than hard hooves. | ||

Although eating the stomach of a goat, cow, sheep, or buffalo might be taboo, | Although eating the stomach of a goat, cow, sheep, or buffalo might be taboo, ancient [[Cheesemaker|cheesemaking]] techniques utilize stomachs (which contain [[rennet]]) for turning [[milk]] into [[cheese]], a potentially taboo process. Newer techniques for making cheese include a biochemical process with bacterial enzymes similar to rennin and chymosin. This means that the ''process'' by which cheese is made (and not the cheese itself) is a factor in determining whether it is forbidden or allowed by strict vegetarians. | ||
