I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

      they just happen to be vegan

      Yeah, that’s not butter and cheese what you’re eating… No need to lie to us.

      That shit never tastes like the actual product. And it’s completely fine if you don’t want to eat it for whatever reason, but don’t lie.

      Margarine is essentially vegan and a pretty ok substitute. I’ve had vegan butter that was also not terrible. Country crock makes some plant based cream that I actually very much like whipped cream from. My wife makes this stabilized whipped cream (think cream and instant pudding) that is absolutely amazing. Now cheese… that’s a totally different story. It always tastes like plastic to me. And don’t get me started on cream cheese. My wife tried to make a vegan cheese cake once. Let’s just say it didn’t go so well.

        What made it easy for me to change to vegan cheese was realising that there’re so many different varieties of cheese that all taste different to each other, and realising that vegan cheese is just more amongst them, each also tasting different between them.

        That and at the time of me making the transition my local supermarket had a vegan wensleydale and cranberries which has always been my favourite cheese. So having an alternative for that made it much easier for me.
