if you make the vegan choice for ethical reasons, you are obviously
strong enough to give up things you like. the way i kicked cheese, and
suggest as the way to easily forget about cheese is thus:
remember, cheese is just an extra, a condiment basically. it is truly
just about flavor! now, think about the calves that are born to the
milk cows, and then, you realize that you are still killing animals,
just for taste. if that doesnt help, then, try to remember that it is
basically mold, that turns the milk to cheese.
