Just wondering what the consensus would be. Is it good and fine (if you like the taste, of course) because it is truly 100% vegan? Or would y'all consider it a horrifying simulacrum of a product of cruelty towards animals?

I am asking because I'm a vegan chef and I was excited to find out that they're making animal-free "dairy" milk through bacterial/fungal fermentation, because plant based "milks" don't really work the same as cow milk does. And theoretically if it has the right proteins/fats it could be used to make vegan cheese that has the actual properties of cheese? So like I think it's very exciting personally. But I'd like to know what others think before I suggest we try to order some, since it'd be a waste if nobody actually wanted to eat anything made with it.

I made a "cheese" sauce out of potato/onion and nutritional yeast and stuff and like it tasted good but it still doesn't really taste like cheese, it's kinda like it's own thing yknow?

Something I've tried but never got entirely how I wanted was adding more potato starch to that cheese sauce and a bit of flower so it's a bit thicker and then you can label a bit onto a flat top and cook it into a vegan kraft single. It was at my old job and covid got in the way of scientific progress, but it's for sure something that could be done
