Probably not at all. Those of us who eat meat and cheese are smart enough to not let some scam press release by the bug-n-tree lovers affect us at all.

The same people who write the reports of animal abuse?

If Land O Lakes had competitive pricing they would do much better, but they always seem to be priced higher and will lose sales. The price of the cheese will make you take out a second mortgage to buy.

I agree they are more expensive that store brands, but I find they are a better product. I will pay for quality, rather than save a few cents for cheese that tastes like it came out of the wrong cow-hole.
