    No, because a cow has to be impregnated and their baby is taken away (and either killed (male) or is also going to be a milk cow (female)) just for you having some pleasure.

      I agree but vegan cheese/milk just doesn’t cut it. I’m vegetarian but until they manage to emulate the taste better I make a concession for cheese.

        In other words “I support cruelty against animals because of my taste buds, fully knowing what that animal cruelty contains”

          Yes, but you have to draw a line somewhere. The crops you eat have pesticides on, animals are trapped and killed to keep the places you eat and live clean.

        You don’t really miss it after a few months. And maybe it’s stockholme syndrome but lately when I get something with vegan “cheese” on it, it hasn’t been awful. Last weekend I got a Daiya pizza thinking it was gonna be complete trash and it wasn’t horrible actually.

          I’ve heard the best way to to replace cheese (as a vegan or someone going non-diary) is to just not. The vegan cheese substitutes don’t taste good if you are used to dairy and cheese in general doesn’t really provide much nutrition

            Yeah. I tried the vegan cheeses because you have to have cheese on pizza right? (Violife is the only decent tasting one I’ve found here that doesn’t contain carageenan). Then I tried making pizza without cheese and it’s just as good. So now I have cheeseless pizza. The flavour comes from the veg.

            Why not make your own? A simple cashew cheese + nooch, is nutritious and taste good.

      Knowing humans, it’s either that or extinction. I think cows did a pretty smart move, evolutionairywise. That said, it is time for change.

        The breeds abused for milk are like those dogs which can’t breath. What is your stance on dogs who cant breath or run, do we need to breed them to avoid their extinction?
