A vegan blue cheese won the prestigious Good Food Award, until the dairy industry forced the foundation to disqualify it with a rule-change.

    The dairy industry is so pathetic.

      Maybe. But nothing in this story suggests that as “the dairy industry” did nothing more than disqualify a cheese made using non-GRAS ingredients.

      What’s pathetic is Big Vegan telling lies to try and discredit an ancient and valuable industry.

        There’s nothing ancient or valuable about a relatively new industry that’s built on lies and unnecessary suffering and death for all.

          In the first 45 seconds of that video it says we’ve been consuming milk for 10,000 years - and yet you say it’s not ancient?

            Compared to the other 90% of our evolutionary history? Not by a longshot.

              I meant ancient as in ancient Greeks, not whatever obscure meaning of the word you’re using.
