Also check out this new cheese that just came out called teese: www.teesecheese.com/photos_video.php

and since this is a vegan philosophy tribe.
It is important to think of why you chose to become vegetarian and vegan to begin with.
Congratulations on all that you are doing 80-20 vegan is much better than 20-80 of course...but if the reason for your veganism is animal rights you will not be able to do any less than 100% vegan.

because ultimately you will realize that simply "liking" something for the taste is a very poor reason to deprive someone else of life.

In order for a cow to produce milk, she must have a calf. "Dairy cows" are impregnated every year in order to keep up a steady supply of milk. In the natural order of things, the cow’s calf would drink her milk (eliminating her need to milked by humans). But dairy cows’ babies are taken away within a day or two of birth so that humans can have the milk nature intended for their calves. Female dairy calves may be slaughtered immediately or raised to be future dairy cows. Male dairy calves are confined for 16 weeks in tiny veal crates too small for them even to turn around in.

The current high demand for dairy products requires that cows be pushed beyond their natural limits, genetically engineered and fed growth hormones in order to produce huge quantities of milk. Even the few farmers who choose not to raise animals intensively must both eliminate the calf (who would otherwise drink the milk) and eventually send the mother off to slaughter after her milk production wanes.

Cheese= separating a baby from his or her mother.
And even in "organic" dairy productions whether it be cow, goats, sheep, whatever, there are not "retirement homes" for the "spent" animals.
ALL animals end up at the slaughterhouse.

So cheese kills.

Plus as for the torture level, if I had a choice to come back as a "meat" cow or "meat" chicken or as a dairy cow or a egg-laying hen, I would much rather be an animal raised for meat, because they suffer much less and for much shorter periods... cows suffer a horrible life of depresion because their baby is taken away, and the toll of constant pregnancy and terrible digestive disorders, not to mention the pain of being milked two or three times a day...by machines!!

egg-laying hens suffer tremendously confined four to a cage that can not even hold one hen, and even in organic production, they are forced to lay eggs to an unnatural degree which completely destroys and exhausts their little body and in the end they also get thrown away to slaughter.

the products of animals are much more cruel than meat...so if you want to refuse meat for the cruelty you should first refuse dairy, eggs for the same (and even more extreme) reasons.

ABC cookies are the best. As for making your own just use earth balance margerine and energee egg replacer in your recipe. Works every time.

yeah i've heard that before...and i agree...

which is why i'm going to do the master cleanse and quit cheese...for good! the master cleanse is awesome...it helps people quit alcohol addictions, nicotine, you name it...so i figure it will probably help me quit cheese as well...

i just find it strange that i was able to quit EVERYTHING else cold turkey (fast food---which i've heard is also addictive, milk, ice cream, eggs, etc.) no problem...and out of all that, cheese is my downfall...i know i can overcome it no problem though, i just need to make up my mind and do it...

I actually really enjoy the Veganrella individual slices. I just dislike the over-packaging.

And yeah, ABC cookies freaking rock.
