    Cheese was the one thing that kept me from going fully vegan for some time. Don’t care about meat, don’t care about milk, but cheese, cheese is special.

      Similar boat here. I’ve been vegetarian for 18+ years now, and my meals have been vegan most days lately, but I don’t know if I’ll ever fully cut out cheese.

        Vegan cheeses have improved a lot. I’ve been vegan for almost 25 years, and the last few years have been the best for cheese alternatives. I don’t know if you’re in the US or if these are international brands, but Miyokos and Parmela Creamery both make some good stuff.

          If you haven’t had cheese in 25 years, I can see how you’d think the snotty vegan approximations are acceptable.

            Fair enough point on its face, but if you haven’t tried any new offerings lately, you should check in. I’ve made grilled cheese and quesadillas for vegetarians that couldn’t tell the difference. Probably the more specialty or fancier cheeses don’t have good substitutes yet. I hope they don’t bother replicating feta ;)

    As long as they can eat pasta so we can do the Lady & the Tramp thing, it’s all good. No celiacs disease bf/gf for me, thanks.

    Edit: people with gluten allergies must really wanna kiss me Lady & The Tramp style.

      Wheat allergy is also a thing. You have no idea how many things contain wheat. It’s in fucking everything.

    Technically, dairy tolerance is mostly genetic. It doesn’t have any particular survival benefits in this day and age, though.

      Hence the reference to their bloodline. Most of the world is lactose intolerant, so I guess most people have a weak bloodline

      /s, because apparently it wasn’t clearly a joke?

        Yes, I was trying to be subtle about the fact that this meme could be considered a racial supremacy argument. What you just spouted was racism, might want to amend with a /s at the end.

          It’s not a racial supremacy argument, it’s a genetic trate developed mostly in regions where the consumption of milk was necessary due to the climate before we all got fridges and international trade.

          It has absolutely nothing to do with rasism as it is in no way or form connected to race. People in northern India are mostly tolerant while populace from the southern part are not.

          Dislike the joke? That’s fine, but get of your high and condesending horse.

            Eh… while I think that guy is full of shit, race is an entirely made up concept and discriminating based on any genetic trait is the exact same as racism. Semantical arguments are kinda bad.

            It’s just that no one here was discriminating because the joke in the comment and the one in the OP only work by making fun of this kind of discrimination in the first place.

            Right right, it’s not a racial supremacy argument it’s just that some ethnicities and cultures are naturally genetically superior to others (with a heavy correlation to skin tone). /Sarcasm
