sadly, most vegan cheese aren't all that :( it's a real pisser aboutt he casein, too. provides a "tastiness" and so is often used, while things are labled lactose-free.

Sigh. Oh well. Nut cheeses are pretty tasty, though!

Do you mean the almond cheese stuff in a package? Also has casein: http://www.lisanatticheese.com/index.php?Itemid=8&option=com_zoo&view=item&category_id=1&item_id=1

or do you mean the truly vegan, ultra yummy sun cheese type cheeses? http://junebugsoup.blogspot.com/2008/08/sun-cheese.html

The thing is, casein (and gluten!) have morphine analogs, so people who are jonesing for cheese really are jonesing.
