True.

That's seems like a strange argument to me. Why to insist that we should get the protein specifically from cheese? Not that it would be hard mix some protein powder in, but why has the protein be in the cheese?
The stomach doesn't care, the body doesn't care where it gets its protein. Why should you, as long as you get your protein from somewhere?
We already get 63% of protein and 82% of calories from plants. It's not hard to go all the way.
Almost never protein though. You want good protein for a healthy diet. Of course you can get it through other ingredients, but most of the time, today anyway, you do lose something when just replacing cheese with vegan cheese, unfortunately.
> There is no magic ingredient in cow (dog, giraffe, lion, bat, dolphin) milk that we couldn't get from plants instead.
Agreed.
