Most American cheese is absolute shit.

Verbatim · June 02, 2016, 01:33:22 PM

no, because my morals compel me not to

Winy · June 02, 2016, 01:38:52 PM

Was never a huge fan of American cheese on anything besides cold-cut sandwiches, I'm in the minority when I say I actually hated when people melted cheese onto my burgers. Something about melted American cheese just... Bleh.

i have a question that's kinda related to the topic:

how long did it take for you to make the full switch to veganism? It's been almost a month since I became vegetarian and eventually I do want to take the leap towards veganism, but eggs and dairy are such a big part of my diet. Do you have any advice on how I could substitute these items?

It's more than fine to toss on sandwiches and shit.
It's not something I'd sit down and just eat tho. That's what real cheese is for.

Almond milk or soy milk, in my opinion, actually taste better than dairy milk. If you aren't fond of their taste, you can buy flavored cartons without spending much more money. I wouldn't say that they actually taste like milk, but they float around in the same pond of flavor, so they're adequate substitutes. They offer vegan yogurt alternatives at a lot of grocery stores (Although I'm actually not sure what they're made of), and the same goes for cheese.

I think it's important to take some time to feel around with vegan alternatives to foods you love without blindly jumping into it. Of course you want to cut the animal products out sooner than later, but it's best to make a gradual switch rather than go face-first into it and then end up crashing because you're overwhelmed. Take your time and experiment.

pasteurized and fermented dairy is also really bad on the digestive system.

I went from meat-eater to vegan overnight around three years ago. Like Winy said, though, I obviously wouldn't recommend that. Babysteps are key; I just wanted the bragging rights.

Substituting dairy is way easy with soy products--but they're an acquired taste. Cheese analogues are ubiquitous, but I personally don't have any taste for them. They're worth a shot if you want to make the jump, though.

Egg has various replacements, but there's a product that I like in particular called Egg Replacer by Ener-G. It's great for baked goods. If you're wondering, it's basically a mixture of leavening, potato starch, and tapioca flour. I've also heard of some vegans using tofu as an egg analogue, but I've never tried that myself.

i wish you luck

I'm the exact opposite.

If its solid I can't eat it.

Swiss is always the preference. American literally never wins.
