What have you substituted cheese with? It's one of my favorite foods but no substitute has come close to it

I haven't tried it as a blue cheese sub dressing but if I just taste it on my chop sticks I feel it's at least in the same general direction. I'm pretty confident I could blend it into a a dressing or put it on a burger as a blue-cheese substitute.
Unrelated to cheese but MyBacon is fantastic if you can get it near you.
I really like Field Roast Chao slices for things like burgers or sandwiches.
Damn shame about the corporate drama, so it's possible the formula could/might change but the products were outstanding for the problem they're trying to solve the last time I tried them
Why do you want to? Lactovegetarianism is far more precedented than veganism.
I'd really love to see some good alternatives, too. I don't really expect to give up all cheese anytime soon, but having a substitute for at least some of it would be helpful.
Such figures are usually "per gram of protein", in which case, sure. Thing is, it's very common for people to eat 200+ grams of pork in one meal, whereas e.g. grated cheese on a pasta dish is <10g. A big slice of cheese is 25-28g, and half the time it's significantly less than 100% actual cheese, with a good amount of filler. The only cheeses that one might eat 50g+ of in one sitting are extremely mild ones like mozzarella, and those are the easiest to replace.
Yeah, growing up in the US I ate more cheese than meat which is probably super common among US kids. I'd devour the whole bag of cheese sticks if I could. And you can look at restaurants like tex mex where the enchilada sits in a lake of cheese. Or go to Olive Garden and try to find someone who stopped at <10g of cheese when the waiter is asking you when you want him to stop shredding it over your pasta.
Anyways, I bet it can be hard to transition from this dairy-heavy lifestyle to a plant-based diet. I personally gave up the idea of a cheese substitute entirely except on vegan pizza where it's dominated by other ingredients. It's just not as good.
Since there is animal-free dairy milk (https://tryboredcow.com/) on the market I wonder when we'll see animal-free dairy cheese.
What you're saying could be true for the US, but in Europe people tend to put 1-2 slices of cheese on their bread, or grate it over something. Even if had as part of a platter with crackers, like with brie, it's nowhere near that much. For cacio e pepe, where the whole sauce is cheese, you only use maybe ~25g per person. This [1] is what 200g of pecorino romano looks like. Good luck eating all of that in one sitting - or don't, as you'll 100% regret it!

If we take all cheese sticks that have been sold across the world in the last 24h, I'd be surprised if more than half their total weight was actual cheese.

They have at least six locations, and not all of them do the vegan thing
Search for "vegan" ... sorry I didn't specify which location.
