  • I used to love cheese and I agree. There is no perfect replacement, yet. Making udder cheese is complicated (and weird!) and thousands of years old, plant based cheese just a decade. If you’re not ready to make compromises, then start somewhere else. You don’t have to go all in, change step by step. Choose a meal that you like to cook and veganise it. Or learn a new one, there are billions of modern and traditional recipes from around the world.
    Buy oat milk and stick with it for a couple of weeks. It’s just a taste, you will learn to like it eventually.

    You’re wrong about buying local, though. Transport is only about 2% of the emissions at the most.

    “Human workers are treated badly” ticks the Vegan Bullshit Bingo #23:
    There are more important subjects

    Absolutely! Fortunately, being vegan doesn’t mean you can’t care about anything else. We have to eat either way. Why not something ethically and ecologically justifiable, then? We hardly have such a big lever as through our choice of food - 3x a day. And a look at the environmental, humanitarian and global health consequences of animal-based foods quickly shows how important and urgent this issue is, and how much people and the environment benefit from it.


  • Yes I could. But I’d swap the cheese and milk-stuff for a plant based alternative, because of the suffering, the destruction and the annihilation that comes with animal agriculture. I don’t want to pay for this, be a part of it just because I was raised accustomed to the taste. There are great alternatives. But first, you gotta educate yourself, watch the videos. I used to be just as irritated as you.
