I legitimately wonder how much cheese is the normal amount of cheese to eat. Last night I stood at the counter in my underwear armed with a cheese cutter and block of Widmer's vegetable Colby. I'm halfway through a brick of the stuff. My parents gave it to us for Christmas. On Christmas. This is not an unusual occurrence.
People act like plant based (vegan, though without the animal rights focus) diets are lame or hard, but honestly the only really difficult thing and the thing that made us fail at it is that there is simply no good substitute for cheese. Everything else there is something that can satisfy my appetite in an acceptable if not perfect way, but cheese? Nope. You need the real thing.

That looks disgusting. And I happily eat Kraft American cheese quite regularly, but it is not cheese. Separate category.

Agreed. That looks so bad I down voted it, and encourage others to do the same. No one wants to see that, it's offensive.

A friend of mine actually tried it. She said it was horrible. It didn't melt. It was like plastic.

I was probably eating cheese when you wrote that; and likely when he wrote also.
I'm about to go to the store...and buy cheese. We are out.

Isn't that a bit like saying that vegetarianism's not lame or hard except that there's no substitute for steak? Or that giving up air is no big deal except there's no substitute for oxygen?
I disagree with the initial point on the grounds that I have yet to enjoy an alternative-milk cappuccino, and it so quickly goes off the rails that it's not worth wondering whether there's a heavy cream substitute for whipped cream or adding to sauces, etc...
Now that I'm in free fall from the original point, we do have an interesting coffee shop here. They've got a bunch of vegan options and default to soy milk, but they will totally make you a dairy coffee drink without side-eye. It's not a vegan place, they just set the default differently. Which I find incredibly reasonable and well outside the stereotype.

This is the part that kicks my butt every time. If I die younger because of it, I'm OK with that.
In reply to Jesse Ransom :
Ripple is supposed to be a pretty good alternative to dairy. My wife uses the ripple H&H in her coffee.
The kids have no issue using Ripple milk in cereal, but it's tough to find around here, and for the kids there is no reason to avoid dairy.

It would be even better deep fried.
I'm sure some carnival in Fireantville, Georgia is working hard at this right now.
