I thought something was up when a package no longer covered enough for a single pizza.

The larger packs were also <$4.50, and now they are $6 - $6.50.

    Man I cannot stand daiya. I really want their product to be good but each time I try it it tastes horrible. How can cheese be so far behind meat in plant based alternatives?

      i tried this one from oddlygood a while ago and it’s pretty damn close to just straight up being cheese, the only real difference is that it tastes yeasty (still within the realm of cheese flavour) with some starchy grittyness to it, it melts… strangely… like you sorta have to make sure the fat and starch stays together as it gets warm otherwise the fat just drains away and the starch gets burnt, and of course it’s mainly starch rather than protein.

      and it’s sometimes cheaper than dairy cheese, though that’s more of a sign of how fucked up everything is than anything else.

      Yeah, there are way better vegan cheeses out there, but this is the brand that pretty much every store in Canada carries. It’s rare to see a different brand, although, Walmart does have one that’s not bad (needs very high temps to melt).
