    Yeah, it’s just plant based. Some of them are awful, other ones are shockingly good. Texture is usually pretty much the same. Basically like lactose free cheese now a days. 5 years ago it was plastic but now you can’t tell the difference.

      I made the mistake of ordering a pizza with vegan cheese a few years ago. It smelled and tasted rancid, in an overbearingly chemical way. I didn’t finish it.

      In terms of ethical veganism, what happened to the genetically engineered yeasts that produced cow casein, and looked like a promising way of making animal-free dairy products?
