I'm vegan and I've been a vegan for eight years and you're probably wondering how is he still alive since he doesn't eat any meat products and he's probably famished from not having enough protein. Well, the funny thing is I've never thought about protein for 35 years, is eating meat. Never thought about it, vegetarian for eight years, never thought about it. Just like the gorillas, elephants, buffalo or hippos. Never thought about where I got my protein. So where do vegans get their protein and how much protein do you need? You need only point three, six grams per pound. If you weigh 150 pounds, you need 54 grams of protein.

Now for men, that's an average of 56 grams. And for women, that's an average of 46 grams. So some food you can get is some almonds contain six grams of protein per ounce. And you can also eat pistachios, cashews, and oats, you can have oats, which for a half a cup of raw oats is 13 grams of protein. You can eat broccoli, lentils, soybeans, kidney beans, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, which are also good for Omega three, sunflower, Chia seeds, Brussels sprouts, and peanuts. The thing is all food has protein in it, so it's not a concern where you get your protein or how much you just need to eat. The only people that die of protein deficiency are people that starve to death. Let's create a kinder world and stop worrying about where we get our protein and stop eating animals which include meats, dairy, eggs, and fish.

Every time I do an event, people say they would buy the Vegan tee shirts, except they're vegetarian. This is an excuse people use because their taste buds are more important than animal’s lives. They don't understand that to make dairy, the mother has to be pregnant to create milk for the baby. The males are sent to slaughter at 20 weeks old, and the females become dairy cows. So being vegetarian really isn't kind to animals. We need to think about why milk is created. Milk is produced to nourish a baby, and that's it. Humans are the only animals on the planet that drink milk after infancy and definitely the only animal that drinks milk from another species. 

It bothers me when people say that they are lactose intolerant. It's a term the dairy industry made up to make it okay to drink milk even though you're an adult. Lactose intolerant exists for a reason. You're not supposed to drink milk when you're in a. You're not a baby. 

Let's look at how much fluid is required to make cheese in the reason milk in dairy is so addictive. It has a form of morphine in it, and that makes sense out of evolutionary state because when a baby's upset and they're hungry. They come to the mother, and they nurture, they get fed, calm down, and then they'll come back. It takes 10 gallons of milk to make what it takes. Ten pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. You're getting 10 times the morphine in cheese, and you're getting in milk. Also, European cheeses contain rennet now rennet is the curdled milk from the stomach of an unweaned calf, and that's a male calf because they don't kill the females, and if you buy an American cheese, they don't carry this kind of rennet, and that's probably because the male calves never get fed milk. They are instantly taken away from their mothers and then put into boxes. Now there's a vegetable rennet which non-dairy cheeses use, and that is usually made of fissile. There's a microbial rennet. Which is often derived from mold, but it gives it a slightly bitter taste, and then there's agenda genetically engineered it, which I don't know if this is Vegan or not. You have to make a decision. I don't think it's Vegan, but it's derived with plants that have been injected with cow genes. 

What can you have if you're making the switch to veganism? There are so many plant-based cheeses now that we really don't have to eat dairy cheese anymore. One of my favorites is Chao cheese. It contains filtered water, coconut oil, modified corn, and potato starch, potato starch, fermented Chao tofu (soybeans, water, salt, sesame oil, calcium sulfate), sea salt, natural flavor, olive extract (antioxidant used as a preservative) and beta carotene color. This is perfect for sandwiches and grilled cheese. Those are two of our favorites for it. 

Daiya is another brand that you can use. We use this for our tacos and baked potatoes. It also melts really well. And then for bagels, we use cream cheese. This Tofutti cream cheese. This is my favorite. It is water, expeller processed natural oil blend (soybean, palm fruit, and olive), maltodextrin, non-GMO (soy protein, tofu), non-dairy lactic acid, blend of natural gums (locust bean, guar, cellulose, and xanthan), organic sugar and salt.

Most of these cheeses are pretty widely available at your grocery store. You just have to check. Definitely Giant, Wegmans, and Whole Foods carry them. If you're just looking for a cheese that you can slice and have with wine and crackers, Miyoko's makes excellent cheese. Punk Rock Labs makes a block of good cheese. Treeline, Heidi Ho, makes a delicious cheese. There's a lot of cheese alternatives out there now, and they're usually made with cashews or not. 

So those are all these good and alternatives. So now you really have no excuse to still eating cheese.
