    FYI, if they can produce plant based burgers that have the texture & tastes like beef, then l see no reason why they can’t do the same with a plant based cheese.

    Food is chemicals (chemistry)

      They haven’t succeeded yet. No good fake cheese, no good fake yoghurt, no good fake bacon

      We haven’t even done the much simpler chemistry of replicating photosynthesis (sunlight and CO2 to sugar)

        Well then, if they can’t make plant based cheese that tastes exactly like dairy cheese we’re doomed (FFS)

        “Photosynthesis”

        Plants have evolved to do that already! That’s also why it’s far better for the environment to eat plant & fungi based diets. Less energy (fewer resources) is lost (used) by eating the plants inc. the milks that are made from plants. Compared to eating the animals that eat the plants
