Oh I wish there was a warning about the calf picture. Really is cheese so worth it to put an animal in a veal crate?
An excellent blog post about why cheese isn't worth it and how you can live without it even if you think you can'tI used to think I could never give up cheese. After all, it was my very favorite food. When my husband and I would eat out at chi-chi restaurants, I wouldnt even look at the entrées or desserts; Id just order the cheese plate. Brie, havarti, gouda, goat, stilton, gorgonzola, fetaI loved them all. I remember one time (before I knew the truth about animal agriculture) I went to a local bookstore and was flipping through a copy of Joel Fuhrmans Eat To Live. I was reading along, nodding in agreement as he described a diet which contained no meat, no fish, no eggs, no oiland then I saw it: no cheese. Huh? Say again? What kind of joyless doctrine of abstention is this? Fuuuhggit about it. I quickly slammed the book shut and returned it to the shelf.
But then, soon after, three things happened... (CONTINUED)
I don't believe it is. Well, at least it never was for me.

People can be "addicted" to almost everything -- cars, images of George Costanza*, chocolate, the smell of fresh pine. That doesn't mean the object in question has to have addictive properties; I would look more into the person than into the object.
*speaking of that, where's my fix?

True, but it doesn't make a person's individual addiction any less difficult to break. I used to be that person who ordered a cheese plate in a restaurant too because I loved it but now I hardly ever crave dairy cheese.
Hummus on crackers my new addiction. I had to go cold turkey on cheese when I gave it up, I'm afraid if I ate some again I'd relapse.Originally Posted by .Goth-Alice.
Excellent link Ive bookmarked the entire blog...its brilliant!
Ive cut out block cheese, I still am eating things that have cheese in, for now, as I feel I will be more succesful doing it a bit at a time. I dont even miss cheese on crackers at all...not like I thought I would!
I crave cheese almost every single day and I haven't had any for seven years.
