Most people just want good cheese. They don't want a branding lecture, a strategy session, or a marketing department trying to prove how enlightened the dairy aisle. Fine. Tillamook can chase whatever market it wants. Americans can buy whatever cheese they want too. Funny how capitalism works both ways."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:acol4gm3jutmt7njflhoetix/bafkreigquyfvkegse6phnpwwypjy6s2d4asir24crd6akcwqjc6gyi5osq)

The company changed its cheesemaking process years ago, switching to a vegetarian rennet that carries Halal certification. Today, Tillamook says the majority of its cheeses are Halal certified...."

![Article from quoted link. Inset: "Hollywood's male critics are nothing if not consistent in their emphasis on the looks of women whom they see as owing them more to look at." Article extract: "Feuds between male journalists and actresses go back years and years. In 1951, columnist Walter Winchell engaged in a public feud with world-famous entertainer and civil rights activist Josephine Baker, who was refused service at the legendary Stork Club in New York City. Baker claimed Winchell was sitting at a nearby table and refused to come to her aid, causing a flurry of support for her cause. Winchell tried hard to pass the buck, writing, "I am appalled at the agony and embarrassment caused (to) Josephine Baker and her friends at the Stork Club. But I am equally appalled at their efforts to involve me in an incident in which I had no part." But when the fervor didn't die down, Winchell started to write pieces about Baker being [my highlighting begins here - ed] "pro-fascist, a troublemaker and a Communist-guided provocateuse."

![Background
Michael Orlandus Darrion Brown (May 20, 1996 – August 9, 2014) graduated from Normandy High School in St. Louis County eight days before his death, completing an alternative education program. At the time of his death, he was 18 years old, 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 meters) tall, and weighed 292 pounds (132 kilograms). He was an amateur rap musician who posted his songs on the popular music-sharing site SoundCloud under the handle "Big'Mike." He was two days from starting a training program for heating and air conditioning repair at Vatterott College technical school.
Darren Dean Wilson (born May 14, 1986, in Fort Worth, Texas) is 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) tall and at the time weighed about 210 lb (95 kg). Wilson's first police job was in the town of Jennings, Missouri, where he began working in 2009. With respect to this job, Wilson said to The New Yorker in 2015, "I'd never been in an area where there was that much poverty."
The police force in Jennings was shut down by the town's city council in March 2011. In October 2011, Wilson began working for the Ferguson Police Department. In February 2013, Wilson won a commendation from the Ferguson Police Department after he apprehended a suspect who was later charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and resisting arrest.
