I don't succumb to cheese very often, only when
there is a bit of uneaten pizza left over, or a
well meaning person buys me a cheese and onion
pasty from the chip shop because they don't have
the vegan pies that day - it doesn't strike me
that it makes much difference to the animals
whether I eat things instead of throwing them
away, although I did eat pizza when I took my son
to pizza hut for his birthday - but again it was
the end of shift and no one was going to eat the
veggie pizza if I didn't.

I haven't had scheese or cheesely yet due to the
lack of a source in Redditch, but in general I
dislike imitation animal products anyway.

I have been (mostly) vegan since November, I was
veggie before that.

Best Wishes
