- Or make some cashew-based cheese.

Why Make It Vegan?
Every cow in the dairy industry is forced to give birth every single year in order to keep producing milk. Those calves are ripped from their mothers at birth and sold to the veal industry. They’re shackled in wooden crates for the entirety of their short, miserable lives. These calves are tortured, killed, cut up, and then their corpses are turned into veal to be fed to rich people. Yuck!
