      @Howard Kurgan Barry is arguing a straw man. You never said that the reason for not consuming dairy was because cows have their milk extorted from them, but rather because of the animal cruelty involved. Plus, Barry is being intentionally misleading and condescending because he thinks vegans have "precious attitudes." Your post was anything but "precious." It was factual and explained the specifics of animal cruelty in the dairy industry.
      He also assumes that vegans are so because they think they can change the dairy industry simply by abstaining from dairy. You also alluded to no such thing. Barry does not consider, for example, that it could be a personal moral choice to not participate in cruelty.
      Based on his actions, Barry is a troll. He's intentionally not listening to what you are saying and hoping to spread negativity on the internet. He's not worth it.

      Two of my favorite vegan UA-camrs - one from Toronto where I used to be and one in SD where I currently am. But purely coincidence. I’m not 100% sure from where but my sister-in-law found some good bagels in SD. I want to say the French Bakery, but that doesn’t make sense.

    I grew up in Wisconsin where cheese is basically it’s own food group. I also suffered from eczema and nose allergies due to eating dairy since I was a kid. I gave up cheese a few times, and learned to make my own vegan cheeses, but always went back to dairy intermittently. It is so addictive!! It has now been several years since I’ve eaten dairy/cheese and I even have my own company making and selling vegan cheese here in Malaysia. I love my own vegan cheese, but I still do have that lingering craving for dairy cheese. I won’t eat it again, but I have to admit that it has a lingering addictive quality that probably will never totally go away. But no worries, I fully enjoy all the awesome vegan options out there, especially my own line hehe

As a former cheese addict, I didn’t think I would ever be able to live without “real” cheese. Whelp, it’s been over a year now so it IS possible. But…my main reason for commenting on this video today is because I finally, finally made your fermented cashew cheese & it just finished today. OH MY WORD.

    thanks so much for trying out these vegan cheeses! I live in south texas not near any fancy stores but there is a cute neighborhood organic food stores and am happy to see that they carry violife cheese and I use it when i want breakfast tacos and put in my tofu scramble and it is actually really yummy! I also have tried vegan feta crumbles from follow your heart i believe! I've seen that fields cheese and wondered if it was yummy...hope your tummy didn't hurt from all those cheeses!

    Your videos always have such a good vibe. I think all vegans (or those who have been for some time) experience some "fatigue" occasionally, so on those days its nice to not even have to think about anything and just watch a video where I'm sure there's not going to be any gratuitous violence on screen. This is not exactly what is meant by "safe space" usually but that phrase is what comes to my mind honestly

      weird how people's tastes differ regarding vegan cheese. i cant stand violife (except for the spredable kind they sell! i love that!), to my taste their solid cheeze is barely cheesy and feels plasticy, but i happen to love the vegan cheese papa johns uses on their pizzas, while most people i know hate it.
      i think the biggest tip is to be prepared to try a lot of things until you find the kind of cheeze you like!

    I really love violifehard parmesan it is amazing when shredded and hard just like the dairy one. I also really love their feta, omg it's so good. Chao original slices are awesome just to reach in and snack on alone. Daiya makes a good cheddar, and follow my heart makes a good feta crumble. I must try your recipes those looked great. Never have been a fan of goat cheese, so don't miss that. But just like you, I gave up all animal products for them but still love the flavors, so am very grateful to have something cruelty free. No animal should die or be tormented for my pleasure, and eating is a great pleasure. So glad to have chefs like you to show the way. I have been without for 20 ish years. Thank you

I was Vegan for several months when I decided to eat a whole foods sample of one of my longtime favorites, Rum Runner, & my body rejected it. Itfelt like acid in my chest. My body learned via the absence of dairy, that dairy was harmful rather than beneficial. I'll never go back ... only forward . . .

    I am so envious of the yummy looking vegan cheeses you have available there. Here in Germany we have some good nut-based soft cheeses but the hard cheeses are mostly just coconut oil and potato starch and even the best of them (in my opinion, Violife, from Greece) just don't taste that great to me. The best vegan pizza I have had here has almond cream instead of cheese and is excellent. My personal favourite home-made vegan "cheese" is tofu halloumi (the recipe from One Arab Vegan). I will definitely try your tofu feta and fermented cashew recipes! Do you think it would work with almonds too?
