As another vegan: sorry, no, it’s not accurate. And the texture/meltiness is just completely off. It is similar enough for me to enjoy it and not want real cheese anymore. However, for many people (especially americans) cheese is some holy substance, so we do need to continue improving vegan cheeses for more people to jump.

nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoConsider giving vegan cheese a try. It has gotten a lot better. Pretty accurate taste, as far as I can remember. Most even melt properly, now. Most of them are cashew based, and none of them will raise your cholesterol.

Most other things I can survive without, but I just miss pizza so much
The only reason I’d ever want to be a billionaire would be to fund vegan cheese research

Cheese is colonizer food.

Cashew based cheeses can replace a lot of cheese sauces. I’ve successfully used mustard based sauces creatively to substitute for things like macaroni but imo for pizza I would just go with cheeseless options.
Tomatoes and kalamata olives can do a lot on their own.

I live in a food desert, there’s not that much in the way of selection of what’s available.

Something being Cashew based is not the flex you seem to think it is. All you’ve done is replace animal abuse with human abuse and modern slave labour. I don’t see how it would be any better from an ethical standpoint.

You also go for the abolishment of capitalism of course. You’re not gonna get full animal liberation under capitalism.

I’m sorry, are you under the impression that animal husbandry doesn’t occur in non-capitalist societies?
