Cheese is nutrition not just taste

beccaelizabethtoday I was briefly excited to find pizza hut and pizza express do vegan options since last year
but closer searching finds pizza hut uses violife (0g protein per 100g) and pizza express uses mozzarisella (0.7g per 100g).
Tesco or sainsburys basic mozzarella has 18g protein per 100g.
vegan cheese is so seldom any damn use at all, nutritionally.
and I think they do it on purpose so they can tick all the boxes for allergen free food.
it's also damn near nutrition free. you could starve on this stuff. stick it in recipes instead of cheese and you've lost a protein.
there's low fat high protein cheese with 37g per 100g.
and vegan cheese swaps that out for what?
so.
I could still get a pizza designed to taste like pizza.
but I couldn't fool myself it had any protein in worth counting.
