TLDW; chemically printed whey protein molecules, fermented. Tastes pretty close, "97% less CO2 production" (big if true), almost as cheap, will likely be cheaper than the real thing as it scales

I've found that the longer i'm vegan, the more of a downside that becomes.
Depends for me. My main issue with vegan dairy products is that they don't last long and are too expensive. This could rival both fronts.
the price is a problem, and i also find that a lot of these products rely too much on ecologically problematic crops such as palm plantations or almonds. sure, the impact of cattle farming is worse, but still, i'd prefer it if alternatives would rely on something else than palm oil.
ever heard of oats?
oat milk is just oats and water, dried oats last forever and are really cheap
oat milk is great. the same is not true for cashew cream-y type stuff. as a good jewish boy i need my cream cheese.
sunflower seed cream, roux/bechamel, soy yoghurt, the possibilities are endless. Also, even store-bought plant milks/creams last a lot longer than pus juice
I found this vegan mince/ground pork that tastes way too much like actual body parts. Made a lot of good burgers and meatballs for omnis to enjoy, they were happy with the flavor, but for me it was just a little too... meaty. Also it turns out, looking at the fine print on the back, that it's made by nestle. We found a local chinese brand to replace it with, so it all turned out well in the end.
Yeah, it can be a fine line for me when it's too close to non-vegan food. i've been a vegetarian lib for decades before i turned vegan, largely for aesthetic reasons - i just really, really hate to eat meat, i find it gross, it's like having to eat cat food or smth. and stuff like the beyond burger is just too meaty for me. and now as i'm moving from vegetarianism to veganism, i see similar things happening with a lot of dairy products, i was such a big cheesehead in the past, yet it's beginning to gross me out more and more.
Yeah, same here. I saw this and I'm like, cool, I've surely been vegan long enough I'm lactose intolerant anyway, I'm good without lab grown cheese.
It's lactose free as well, just the whey protein
Ah. Well, neat. It still feels like, just be vegan, vegan cheeses are pretty dang good nowadays, but hey, good for the people doing this, I guess.
As person who has never liked cheese: simply don't eat cheese
