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 get that, which is why I can’t wait for lab-grown meat to take off so that I can finally eat the things I enjoy guilt-free. I’ll be among the first to buy it the moment it’s at the grocery store. Hopefully lab-grown cheese comes next. Vegan “cheez” is awful.

Vegan supermarket cheese is awful, but if you can find a cashew cheese they’re really good. My go to are the more upmarket supermarkets.

Myoko is a great brand for all their plant-cheeses.

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.

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

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.

I support cruelty to people who post bait like this, too.

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?
