Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: The reason why cheese from Beis Unayki has been forbidden from benefit (according to Rabbi Meir in our Mishna) is because the majority of calves of that place are slaughtered for the sake of idolatry.
The Gemora asks: Even if it were the minority, it would still be forbidden, since Rabbi Meir always takes the minority into consideration!?
