Life After Cheese
If you have ever said or thought that you could "never give up cheese," this episode is for you. In it, I explore our irrational attachment to this stuff and suggest that it is a combination of factors that foster our addiction to cheese. I suggest that our desire for it is really a desire for something familiar. I suggest that it acts as a trigger for a nostalgic memory. I suggest that we use it to bring us comfort. I also suggest that it may be as simple as craving fat or salt. And I suggest that all of these things can be satisfied without cheese. I also recommend some good non-dairy cheeses as well as ways to make some of your favorite dishes without any cheese at all - dairy or non-dairy. The bottom line is: NEVER SAY NEVER. Just be willing to be open. You'll find that there is indeed life without cheese. First, we have to stop giving it so much power.

@midpackrunner - oh VERY interesting!! I have to re-think this! At least the phrase "humble pie" in itself isn't violent, but yes, thanks! 23 hrs 53 min ago
To 'eat crow' is to 'abase oneself,' and you can easily just say 'to eat humble pie,' for which no crows would have to be killed. #vegan1 days 0 hrs ago
