Unfortunately cheese just requires a lot of milk in general. That's why the CO2 footprint of cheese is quite a bit higher than e.g. chicken meat [1] and only slightly better than red meat. I have become a vegetarian largely because of the climate impact of meat production. And though I have limited my dairy consumption, I still consume a fair bit of cheese and chocolate and coffee :( [1] https://ourworldindata.org/carbon-footprint-food-methane https://ourworldindata.org/carbon-footprint-food-methane
