Scientists on Quest to Make “Real” Vegan Cheese

MFA Volunteer July 15, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-07-15 at 1.38.28 PM.pngScientists in San Francisco have recently banded together to help create the world’s “first real vegan cheese.”

This cheese would be created from the same proteins as dairy-based cheese minus the exploitation of mother cows. How, you ask? It begins with good old-fashioned baker’s yeast, which this team of scientists engineers to become “milk-protein factories, churning out real milk proteins.”

Cows used in the dairy industry are treated abhorrently, and dairy factory farms have a huge impact on our environment. With the advent of vegan cheese, inhumane and environmentally destructive dairy production could become a thing of the past.

Although these scientists are working tirelessly on this awesome product, there’s no need to wait to explore all the delicious and cruelty-free vegan alternatives to dairy that are readily available at your supermarket.
