A vegan cheese beat dairy in a big competition. Then the plot curdled…
An article discussing a competition where a vegan cheese product outperformed traditional dairy cheeses, and the subsequent controversy and developments that followed.
Note
industry bickering aside, there are some valid debates underneath the squabbling.
if vegan cheese requires almonds or palm oil, the "more sustainable" option is worth understanding if they could be made without and how it compares to the land and animal welfare impacts of dairy farms.
it is exciting to see dairy alternatives improve their taste and if they can better meet their vision of a more sustainable world, the industry turmoil will just serve to give consumers better tasting foods that better align with the fundamental reasons why we would want to replace these foods to begin with.
