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

    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.

        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
