You asked for it and we delivered!

After our recent, super-epic plant milk taste test with @veganolympian and @jasonwrobel – people were clamoring for more.

So we decided to round up a dozen dairy-free cheeses and put ‘em to the test in the Switch4Good kitchen!

We picked a wide range of cheese styles, from queso to shreds to dips to hard cheeses and more.

No joke, even though we sampled 12 kinds of cheese, we could’ve included at least 100 more brands – but our bellies only have so much room, people!

What an incredible world we live in where there’s a venerable plethora of delicious, healthy, and innovative dairy-free cheeses on the market. It’s honestly mind-blowing and we're grateful for the expansive options.

Big props to the groundbreaking global brands and products we sampled:

It's common practice for the dairy industry to cha

It's common practice for the dairy industry to channel millions of dollars into private universities and institutions in the name of research. We've talked at length about the many ways they manipulate data and research studies to create false narratives about the safety and nutritional benefits of cow's milk.

This one, though, is a whole 'nother level of revolting. The dairy industry is funding research on children to shape their future "policies" regarding nutritional guidelines (and therefore future nutrition policies at schools!)

From the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Department's "Nutrition Policy Institute":

***Participate in a Study!***
An important project on milk for young children
Do you have an infant who is getting ready to start drinking cow’s milk? Do you live in the San Francisco Bay Area? You are invited to participate in a 4-month study regarding child milk intake.

You can receive a gift card up to $200 and 3 months of free whole or nonfat cow’s milk for your participation.

To be eligible to participate your infant must:

Be 11-12 months of age
Not yet be drinking cow’s milk
Not have milk protein allergies, lactose intolerance or other major illnesses/disabilities that could affect growth
Live with you in the Bay Area for the next 6 months
Have public or private medical insurance

Yep, there's nothing quite like bribing parents with free milk and money to have their babies serve as test subjects for the chicanery of the dairy industry. 😤

Repost from @vegan

Did you know? “A single cow use’s 183,500 gallons of water before slaughter.” - Eat for the Planet 🌎 📖 by Nil Zacharias and Gene Stone

So…what’s one of the best ways to save water? 💦 Yup! Switch to plant based milks! 🤍

“We’re still at the beginning. So quite honest

“We’re still at the beginning. So quite honestly, I feel proud of the team that goes out every day – no matter how many doors are slammed in our face – because the door slams multiple times a day. It’s not like we’re getting water to children in sub-Saharan Africa. Everybody on planet Earth is like, ‘Yup, that’s a good idea!’ We are still seeding the idea that [consuming dairy] is not a good idea.

“We’re not doing something that’s popular. We’re doing something that’s straight up against the grain . . . eye-to-eye with the status quo. And it’s hard to get up every day with hope because it’s not wildly popular what we’re doing – nor do many people want to lean into it – it’s very hard to get attention and recognition.

“It’s the fierceness and the grit of the team to wake up every day and get creative and keep fighting.”

These quotes from our founder, Dotsie Bausch (@veganolympian) are part of a great new article by Chris Blondell in @ownersmagazine detailing the mission, message, and mentality of Switch4Good.

"I’ve seen how if we 'other' ourselves from some

"I’ve seen how if we 'other' ourselves from someone—whether it be a human or an animal—we can justify the violence."

For someone who had no idea what to do with their life after graduating high school, 25-year-old Calen Otto (@unruly_traveller) has more purpose and passion than most people twice their age.

What started out as a year in Chile as a foreign exchange student led to a ravenous travel bug. At 19, Calen crossed the US on a bike and supported their lifestyle by working as they went.

They have been to 25 countries, mastered the art of vegan traveling on a budget, and does whatever they can to be an advocate for the animals—whether that’s rescuing pigs from abusive CAFOs to working for @mothersagainstdairy.

In this episode, Calen elucidates on their adventures, explains what it means to be queer, and offers their perspective on what it means to be a person (animals included!) We hope this conversation brightens your day as much as it did ours.
