Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Planning on going totally vegan within the next month or so (have cheese and Graeter's ice cream left from the holidays that we are NOT throwing away) I keep hearing that the Follow Your Heart is the best kind of casein free, vegan cheese substitute around. Has anyone ordered it from the website? is it really worth it? I don't believe anywhere around Nashville carries it. anyone out there purchased it or another good faux cheese at Wild Oats , Publix, etc? thanks, melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 That's not you or ... that was me I have a business program that requires key-codes to load. Even though I have more recient versions of the software, I prefer using an older version. At this point the company no longer supports the old version and also they said that since I have the newer version they will not give me the codes for the older. As a result, I set my PC back to the month I installed it. I work in that version, then use the newer version to print out shop drawings as the newer printers do not have drivers for that old a CADD program. Plots get emailed directly to the blueprinter's OK ... Unneeded trivia... Sorry. I generally remember to reset the date, but forget to at times.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 a couple days back there was a discussion on carageenan and another member posted this sight:http://www.notmilk.com/carageenan.html I am picking my battles.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 There are different kinds of Carrageenan. The ones in foods don't have the one with harmful effects according to the study below. Judy Carrageenan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There is evidence from studies performed on rats, guinea pigs and monkeys which indicates that degraded carrageenan (poligeenan) may cause ulcerations in the gastro-intestinal tract and gastro-intestinal cancer Poligeenan is produced from carrageenan subjected to high temperatures and acidity. The average carrageenan molecule weighs over 100,000 Da while poligeenans have a molecular weight of less than 50,000 Da. A scientific committee working on behalf of the European Commission has recommended that the amount of degraded carrageenan be limited to a maximum of 5% (which is the limit of detection) of total carrageenan mass. Upon testing samples of foods containing high molecular weight carrageens, researchers found no poligeenan. - Melissa Thursday, January 04, 2007 2:31 PM Re: ahh the cheese dilemma a couple days back there was a discussion on carageenan and another member posted this sight:http://www.notmilk.com/carageenan.html I am picking my battles.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'm not going to worry about carrageenan ro much, just going vegetarian, learning to cook and not smoking is a milestone.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I love kombu and sea vegies. They are very healthy for you. I do not use salt when I cook . If I am making something that really needs a touch of salt when I have a friend over for dinner, I will generally use Bragg's Aminos in her meal to make it saltier. - " flashback_lunchbox " <flashback_lunchbox Thursday, January 04, 2007 6:38 PM Re: ahh the cheese dilemma > I'm not going to worry about carrageenan ro much, just going > vegetarian, learning to cook and not smoking is a milestone. > Jeff > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 As far as the carageenan thing goes, I don't know whether it is good or bad. However, when the discussion came up, I looked at my brand (store brand- cheaper) and it was in there. I looked around at the store and discovered 8th continent doesn't have it. Nicely they also have a lighter version and it only cost 30 cents more than the store brand. My sister had told me in the past that it was good. I tried it and liked it. It seems smoother and easier on my tummy (gastric reflux problem). I figure 30 cents more is worth it for a light version and if no carageenan is of relavance, it is an added bonus. I have tried several types of soy cheese and have yet to find one I care for. I tended when I ate meat, to avoid cheeses anyway because of cholesterol problems, so I figure as long as it is a minor component of my diet real cheese isn't a big deal.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 There is a Rice brand that is casein free. As far as what your Wild Oats and Whole Foods carries, write them and ask for specific brands and more vegan cheeses. I wrote Wild Oats and they now have a HUGE selection of vegan cheese! They do listen to their customers. On 11/11/05, Alyssia <deechun_sa_ngop wrote: I know that their mayo is great. I had mayo on a sandwitch for the first > time in decades yesterday it is that good.
