Why would you want to be vegan? It's awful

@@CruelQuertos are you vegan?

@@CruelQuertos Healthy, good for environment, maybe morals.

@@bronbettis4084 Yes because wasting our intellect on synthetic cheese really solves the moral dilemma that is consuming dairy.

@@therealgemmacollins2158 no, I've tried it and I ate vegetarian for 13 years prior. Now i eat meat and drink milk.

It really is the future. There is no way we can keep going the way we have been forever. Something has got to give.

I completely agree. Seeing things like this is both encouraging but also concerning. As long as people remember that some of us are interested in vegan cheese as a casein-free alternative and properly label their products, I encourage the innovation. However, if vegan products containing casein aren’t labeled, it could have some dangerous consequences.

Right. I have the same issue, desiring an alternative to cheese without the animal protein, casein, which I am allergic to. However, I'm sure that someday the food scientists will develop a melting cheese without that animal protein.

As someone who’s also allergic to dairy as well as vegan, what concerns me is when this non-animal casein cheese makes it into restaurants, the potential for disaster is high. For years, even before I was vegan, vegan food has always been an easy, safe bet; as with most who have dairy allergies.So when a restaurant has “vegan” cheese with casein, that is going to cause a problem for workers being aware of what is in their food, and for consumers who have trusted vegan to mean dairy free for decades.

I'm also allergic to dairy as well a lot of other things and vegan products have always been safe, now it's going to get scary. I agree it's good for those who want cheese without relying on cows, and it's important for the future. I just hope the labeling reflects the ingredients. I've had issues with people and restaurants not realizing that imitation crab still contains shellfish, and I don't want the same problem with cheese.

If you don’t mind, can you please tell me the brands? I’m lactose intolerant and would love some good cheese alternatives. Thanks!

@@Sara-jc4xw Those are the brand names, why havnt you gone vegan if I might ask?

@@D0J0Master Not everyone can afford it, for some people it's part of their culture... Plus not everyone want to stop eating meat, fish or dairy product.

@@Sara-jc4xw the brand is applewood, I think it’s only in the UK tho. So hopefully you can find it!

@@basmac3016 poo poo

I've only been vegan for 3 years, can't imagine how it was back then.

@@Deathhead68 It was okay, we didn't have so much fun food as now but plant-based diets are quit similar. Very few people knew what a vegan lifestyle was so you got used to explain a lot more than now. Ahaha.

I’ve been vegetarian for I think about 5 years and even I’ve been able to see the huge developments and advances plant based alternatives have had. I live in an average suburban town and my grocery store now has multiple sections of plant based products all over the store

Thank goodness you don't force us to change. I have eaten both vegan and normal cheese an di found normal cheese to be better because it can melt and etc.

@@iamnonexistent1680 mate nobody can force you to do anything lol. The only thing that happens by force is what happens to the animals

Lmao

yeah. thats pretty much the case for me too.

Until then, try Chao. It's very good and does melt.

This video is so bizarre, I use Okanagan's Soya and it melts and stretches great when I make pizza.

@@Mcowling thanks

Yea there’s definitely quite a few different cheeses that melt perfectly and have no difference to dairy cheese. Vegan pizza and and Mac n cheese is obviously a popular dish. Sold at most vegan restaurants etc.

I found daiya vegan cheese melts well and I just found a daiya boxed Mac n cheese at Walmart too!!

@@nichellecece i gotta check it out. Thank you

Soylent Green is People

lol ur pfp is the accidently vegan Doritos flavor

@@chairwood LOL yeah I love those chips because they're the only vegan flavor 😅

@@christinas814 sorry but I love a good steak

@@wheal2825 Nobody asked, but sure.

@@NahvomaLena I asked

exactly. thank you. violife is better than cheese

Same. It’s also kind of discouraging as well. The only vegan cheeses that we can eat are the ones that don’t act like real cheese, unfortunately.

Honestly bro, it's only difficult for the first couple weeks, you get used to it pretty quick.

Yeah, I was a massive meat and cheese lover and I thought it would be terrible, but the cravings honestly stopped after a week or so. Every person has different experiences though, of course

@@Deathhead68 Oh cool really?

@@letthebeatr0ck That's cool

@@Catty_Wampus4610 honestly, I ate meat and dairy 3 times a day every day. The more I looked into it, the more it felt wrong, but at the same time everyone does it, which is the weird part. Eventually I decided to reduce and stopped completely, it was only hard at first to figure out what to eat instead but once you know, that's it, it's just as easy.

Omg. Try finding a restaurant that is not vegan or without several vegan options in Atlanta.

It’s the Caso morphine your thinking of. Literally a type of morphine. It’s for the baby to keep returning to mom. We have adults out here seriously consuming breast milk

who tf is addicted to cheese omg you act as if sprinkling a bit of parmigiano on pasta is the same as sniffing cocaine

@@hamu6118 no one is saying that lmao the point is that people do get very attached to cheese to the point where people feel they need meat and cheese in every meal or they feel theyre missing something its a very real thing especially in the us

@@kg7219 seems like a very usa problem, sorry

@@hamu6118 Lol I'm British and I feel the same about cheese and meat. I need at least one of them in a meal otherwise I crave it like crazy. Definitely not a US problem

Aren’t there lactose free options available? Genuine question actually but I do know that there are lactase supplements you can consume if you plan on consuming dairy on a particular day.

@Moki Ac. yeah that’s true but not EVERYONE is lactose intolerant. Yes it’s true, and some of us stop producing lactase past our infant stage but some of us do still produce it.

Goat cheese is lactose free and I do tolerate and like it better than other cheese

Will the vegan casein be edible by those with dairy allergies?

Yep. Kids eat what they are given. My toddler grandkids fave foods are Chao cheese, avocado& blueberries. They can sit at a table with folks eating chicken and still only consume their veggies with varied grains. Our 2 & 4 yr olds are well aquainted with farro, bulgar wheat, quinoa, also brown and black rice. Help your littles eat well even when grandpa isn't interested.

Then you can go vegetarien, you will miss nothing and still help in a way

you can always eliminate all animal foods except cheese. veganism doesn't have to be absolute. being plant based is great. do the best you can.

It's because casein mimics morphine. It's highly addictive. I wish you the best giving it up.

@@plantahari What's the difference between vegan and vegitarian? Vegis are same as vegans but they just drink milk, and milk based products (which is fine, I mean cow produces 70% more milk than the amount req. to feed her calf).

@@pranavtiwari_yt cows are forcefully impregnated, repeatedly, their calves are taken away shortly after birth. the cows are force-fed an unhealthy diet of calorie dense grains so they produce more milk. most cows spend their entire "milking" lives in an assembly line, tied to various equipment, injected with antibiotics and supplements to keep them "healthy". when they can no longer produce milk they are sent to the slaughterhouse for low quality beef products (pet food, sausages). the calves usually don't get any of their mother's milk, instead they are fed a cheaper soy based formula and raised either for slaughter or dairy. the cycle continues over and over again, with hundreds of millions of cows killed every year. India is the second largest exporter of beef, despite cows being revered as a "mother". veganism is a way of living that goes beyond a diet, as vegans try to avoid other animal exploitation industries like for-profit zoos, leather, pet farms, circus, etc to the best of their ability.

Do you have a recipe or link to a video?

They want non GMO foods, but will eat vegan cheese lol

I don't think vegans and health freaks are the same thing

@@yayayayya4731 veganisme as nothing to do with GMO, this is a coincidence if vegan tend to be against GMO

@@zoqin I know. I'm just saying 😅, there is nothing wrong with gmos

Have you seen how regular cheese is made? It’s also highly processed.

Typo: VELVEETA, not velvet tea.

Tofu?

@@zenjm6496 it’s not tofu not has any in it. Tofu is soy...be careful.

I def need to make some more homemade vegan cheese. I did one with cashews which was rly nice and creamy but its a bit expensive lol

see if you vegans would post more stuff like this not pushing your diet and not encuging fake food it will be all good.

I love the daiya jalapeño block, but follow your heart shreds melt the best for me :D

Miyokos is good but hard to find and more expensive

Violife if you guys have that

What is CMPA?

@@amy_inglis cow’s milk protein allergy. Casein is a cow’s milk protein which is what they’re trying to replicate.

Yeah, there are a bunch of vegan cheeses that melt really nicely. This might be a made up problem.

In the dairy industry cows are impregnated so that they'll produce milk, the male and surplus calves are killed within a few days to a few weeks of being born and the mothers are exploited for their milk until their yield begins to decline at the age of about 4 to 6 year when they are also slaughtered. A cow can live for up to 22 years. Dairy is an industry of violence and exploitation, that's why it's not vegan.

There have been leaps and bounds in the past couple of years tbf

@@Deathhead68 I agree but I still can't stand it, personally it's a waste of my money but I am glad that people are invested and trying to advance what can be achieved in food and science.

@@jeamspqr8439 A couple ones, violife and Applewood are decent if you wanted to try, but yeah I don't blame you. It's pure junk food too, basically just oil lol.

I had vegan cheese a few months ago and I think it was only a dollar more expensive than normal cheese so honestly the price wasn’t bad at all. I totally agree with your reasoning tho, if they’re able to lower prices on vegan alternatives I would gladly do it.

@@imtired6614 in my country rarely is real cheese even seen. We only see it in american pizza. We only really get the cheap artificial ones, so it really wouldn't be any different if we switched to vegan cheese. Although I doubt it can compete to 200g/dollar price tag of our glorified block of salty wax labeled as cheese.

What are you smoking cuz I want some

@@AlaskanGamerz I freebase cocaine.

So u just never eat cheese? No cheeseburgers, no pizzas? That's kinda sad man ngl

@@AnjaliSingh-0304 You’d be surprised how much delicious food there is in the vegan world.

@@AnjaliSingh-0304 I never eat cheeseburgers or pizzas, but I do eat coconut cream or milk almost every day. :) good for my brain.

It doesn't melt like real cheese

@@joshswain6495 tell that to my vegan mac and cheese

When governments stop funding dairy and vegan cheese doesn't need as much r&d

S U S

Im sure there will continue to be casein free cheeze. As a vegan Im BEYOND excited

@@nohandlepleaseandthanks “your concerns about these products aren’t anything to me except a roadblock to getting what I want”

@@vsm6847 I'm sorry you can't eat casein. However, would you ask the world to cease eating gluten because some people have celiacs disease? I assure you there will continue to be gluten and casein free foods but I think quality vegan products like this make reducing your carbon emissions by lowering your animal product intake way more approachable to the general public. I can't tell you how many people I know who "would be vegan but I love cheese too much"

Yeah ... A pity. I love Cheddar 🧀
