Meals For Health -- Success Stories! (VIDEO)
This is all very good, but I am sitting here at the other end of the country and get all the rave about local activities. Please bring this effort to all parts of the country.
Also, I wanted to join Earthsave but there is no more chapter in Metro New York. What happened? The LI chapter is about 3 hours away from us.

I'd Like to be Vegan ... But I Just Can't Give Up Dairy!
If the alternatives are not easy to get, you can preach as much as you will, it won't stick. People will make the switch when they get something better in return.
I prefer Vegenaise to any greasy tasting Mayonnaise, because it is just better. We use Coconut Ice creams, because they just taste better and also stay creamy and manageable after opening. I tell in my blog, that I once was home without Soy creamer and made my own Almond Milk mix. The result created something like a cappuccino foam which was superior to coffee milk. Today I forgo any in between coffee for my own mix. This is how it works!
Still, I am looking for a good replacement for cheese. I grew up in Cheese country. There are so many varieties and ways to use cheese and unfortunately I haven't found alternatives that really do the trick. If I buy cheese I only buy goat cheeses. I replaced parmesan in some recipes with ground walnuts, other flavorless cheeses with tofu, but the real melting cheesy ones, with the stinky cheesy flavor, I haven't found a good replacement that does not taste rubbery or artificial.
Also when you are posting recommendations, please be location sensitive. I have seen people raving about local vegan cheeses that were unfortunately not available anywhere else in the country, and I thought New York had variety…

Actually Deborah I have been talking with some folks about that idea for several months. I hope one day it will happen!

Thanks for all these inspiring stories. Please bring more to this website! There is no vegan community where I live (in beef country Alberta) and its nice to connect and hear others' stories.
