Follow Your Heart, which is the love of many a vegan is okay. Despite what people say, its claim of melting is not to my liking it takes a long time. My favorite is not available retail so 2nd place Tofutti is my main purchased cheese. Veganrella tastes horrible and gets gummy not melted at best. My favorite is VegiKaas (and it’s soy free) is available only wholesale- YES we serve it at the vegan restaurant where I work. We also have the BEST vegan mac & cheese. :)

I think I spelled it right, but I’ll check at work tonight. It’s made from rice and oat instead of soy which I think is why it melts when other vegan cheeses don’t. I’ve only seen it in cheddar and mozz. and it comes in big bricks. Foodswings- (the restaurant) is at 295 Grand St. between Roebling & Havemeyer in Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NY) right between the Bedford and Lorimer stops on the L train. The number is (718)388-1919 and we even do catering. We’ve done orders for MooShoes, PETA & Satya as well as others.

i’ve looked for that reduced fat kerrygold before but haven’t been able to find it… who sells it?

...I’m hopeful they’re going to start distributing it more widely, I noticed they’ve revamped the label recently. And so many stores already carry the Kerrygold brand, I think it’s just a matter of time. I’m going to lobby my local Whole Foods to carry it, we’ll see what happens…

I say, "it is our urges that makes us human..."(frm the Matrix). I love cheese, just like I love a good cigar. To deny yourself at least a daily, weekly, monthly, or endugence is not cool and would make life unbearable.

If your skinny cheese was made with skinny milk (i.e. skim or low-fat), but is otherwise made in the same way all that cheese is made, then you can be relatively assured of at least decent taste and health. Cheese needs few ingredients: milk or cream, salt, culture, sometimes rennet. Lots of reduced, low, and no-fat cheeses have unhealthy gunk in them such as modified food starches, guar or xanthum gums, heart-stopping hydrogenated fats or oils, or other stabilizers. Don't fall into the trap of low-fat or low-cholesterol but highly-processed food.

I thought when I first signed up for this newsletter that it was about truth and not propaganda. Unfortunately it is like all the other brainwashed sites so I'll have to unsubscribe. I am a former self-confessed "dairy-queen" who was vegetarian for 26 years but I really only gave up red meats. I was brainwashed into eating chicken, turkey, fish and cheeses, sour cream, yogurt, etc. light or not so light, from the cow. What a mistake that was. My oldest daughter ended up with asthma and allergies, my youngest with psoriasis. I had IBS and serious excess estrogen issues until I stopped consuming this filth at age 43. Now at almost 49 I am the healthiest and fittest I have been in my life with no more distended stomach and no more digestive issues. Please stop trying to justify consuming the flesh and fluid of other species. Even calfs don't drink cow's milk after they are weaned so why are humans? Yes milk products are very addictive due to their creamy texture and saltiness. Substitute other creamy "good for you things" like avocados, hummus, cashew, almond or walnut creams. My website www.rawandlivingit.com will be up and running on June 5th with lots of information and resources for becoming vegan and leaving the animals and their by-products our of your body! For the truth about milk, cheeses and such visit this link: www.notmilk.com Dangers Of Milk And Dairy Products - The Facts By Dave Rietz Webmaster www.notmilk.com 7-6-2 Yes... milk is Mother Nature's "perfect food" ...for a calf... until it is weaned. Everything you know about cow's milk and dairy is probably part of a Dairy industry MYTH. Cow's milk is an unhealthy fluid from diseased animals that contains a wide range of dangerous and disease-causing substances that have a cumulative negative effect on all who consume it. QUANTITY Each bite of hard cheese has TEN TIMES whatever was in that sip of milk... because it takes ten pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. Each bite of ice cream has 12 times ... and every swipe of butter 21 times whatever is contained in the fat molecules in a sip of milk. MILK'S BASIC CONTENTS *ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol. Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate... including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ... (the 50's strontium-90 problem). CANCER FUEL Of those 59 hormones one is a powerful GROWTH hormone called Insulin- like Growth Factor ONE (IGF-1). By a freak of nature it is identical in cows and humans. Consider this hormone to be a "fuel cell" for any cancer... (the medical world says IGF-1 is a key factor in the rapid growth and proliferation of breast, prostate and colon cancers, and we suspect that most likely it will be found to promote ALL cancers). IGF-1 is a normal part of ALL milk... the newborn is SUPPOSED to grow quickly! What makes the 50% of obese American consumers think they need MORE growth? Consumers don't think anything about it because they do not have a clue to the problem... nor do most of our doctors.
