    Yeah. I’m a vegetarian and the only things preventing me from being full vegan are cheese and ice cream. Once I can tackle those addictions, I’ll be very happy going full vegan.

      I get the cheese argument, but the dairy-free ice cream these days is wild. Oatly, and a few others have some incredible offerings.

      I just wish the US government would shift subsidies from meat and dairy to alternatives. The modern stuff is very good, it just costs like twice as much! Last time I went grocery shopping, the oat milk was almost the same price as the cow milk, so I bought two gallons, because it also keeps much longer than cow milk.

        Yeah something about the economics doesn’t make sense, especially comparing the price of, say, dry beans, to a box of plant-based burger patties.

      I’ve had vegan ice cream before that was so much better than any ice cream I’ve had before but I don’t remember which brand it was and I’m so mad about it. It had this really nice chewy bouncy texture. So good vegan ice cream exists. Now if only I can find it again.

      My local store had five different brands of mint chip vegan ice cream. I’ve still only tried two and I think they’re great.
