Fiancee and I watched Forks Over Knives and did the "let's try it out for a month" thing as well. She has been totally vegan ever since for more than 3 years now. I eat nearly entirely vegan at home as it just doesn't make a lot of sense to keep two sets of food in the house. As someone who really enjoys to cook, it's also been really fun to learn how to cook new types of dishes that don't rely on animal products.
When we order delivery or eat out at restaurants that aren't specifically vegan restaurants, I'll eat the occasional meat dish. The real hard one for me to give up has been cheese. Vegan food companies can make pretty decent faux meat, but vegan cheese is downright awful.
- KitDuncan 10y agoI don't know, have you tried the Chao cheeses? They were pretty close for me. Daiya isn't too bad either. After 1.5 years of veganism I have to say though that I don't crave cheese or meat at all anymore and just try the faux meats/cheeses out of curiosity...
- matty22 10y agoI haven't tried Chao, I'll have to see if I can find them. I have tried the Daiya cheeses and they're ok if you're using them for a sauce or something or melting them on a pizza. But grabbing a block of the Daiya cheddar and comparing it to proper cheddar, Daiya just doesn't compare.
