soy cheese and tofu, which is really cheese imho can be subbed for a lot...
not to the "health" of the vegan diet....as with any eating regime if you
eat enough calories, and combine foods correctly, monitor intake to see
where you might be lacking and use supplements carefully it works... i could
do vegetairan easily if we weren't considering nealth... wouldn't care for
vegan, but for me it wouldn't work health wise, without eating red meat a
couple of times a week i really suffer... wish i didn't have to don't care
for it all that much...
