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.

Agreed.

True.

That seems like a strange argument to me. Why insist on obtaining the protein specifically from cheese? Not that it would be hard to add some protein powder to it; why has the protein come from the cheese?

If it tastes good, it doesn't matter as long as you get enough protein from somewhere. We already get 63% of protein and 82% of calories from plants. It's not hard to go all the way.
