Why I am not a vegan

[Night Owl]

My favorite vegan cheeses that I've tried are made of coconut oil (I really like Follow Your Heart) and I've had some really good cashew cheeses. Nut milks are a really, really solid and suitable substitute for dairy milk. The hard part is (literally) weaning oneself off the dairy milk because of the addictive properties of casein. Cheese and dairy are so good and satisfying and hard to quit because each time you consume them you get a mild opiate dose.

They are getting more and more creative experimenting with nut cheeses, and there are plenty of "aged" cheeses out there that use the same bacteria to ferment the nuts that it used to ferment the dairy. So yeah, aged nut cheese is definitely coming around. A good brand is Treeline, they have tons of different flavors of soft cheeses that have been aged.

Thanks for the info. What kind of places are selling those vegan cheses? I will definitly try them out if they do have aged cheese. I suspect the price will be high though.


Concerning the debate, I have always tried to bring the discussion toward oneness in hope that those who suffer can learn how to see things in a point of view where they don't need to suffer, not because we should not give a f*** but because understanding and accepting the process brings inner peace and that stands for both sides. But once the discussion becomes full of hate and suffering I do think it is best to move on. But seeing you go like that I think it means everybody loses in the end. I would have hoped both side could find the strenght to reconcile or at least find a way to keep the discussion meaningful whatever the direction is. Another opportunity toward oneness has been lost.
