Vegetarian Cheese
Non-kosher milk can't become cheese or butter. Many reasons are given in the Gemara for the gezeirah against cheese made by a non-Jew. Why didn't the Sanhedrin explain the reason?
Cheese made with non-animal rennet is subject to the prohibition of גבינת עכו"ם because it's a gezeirah (and we don't uproot gezeirot). Why was this gezeirah enacted and why does it remain? Can a gezeirah ever be uprooted?
