Unsurprising! So I guess meat and dairy products are going to become astronomically expensive?

The one thing that I can’t find is a palatable alternative to cheese. Are there any yet?

    Daiya cheese has a good taste and texture, across their varieties. My family even prefers their smoked Gouda to the dairy Gouda. None of the varieties melt quite like dairy cheese, but it’s a small price to pay.

    Dairy causes my rheumatoid arthritis and colitis to flare up, so I’ve had to find alternatives.

      Daiya cheese

      Looks interesting, though a quick search doesn’t turn up anyone selling it in New Zealand yet.

      Though non-dairy cheeses do appear to exist in NZ: third annual Vegan Society Vegan Cheese Awards

      Even some in Countdown! Angel Food Cheese (made in NZ) and Veesey Cheese (product of Greece) - at $35.90 and $43.50 a kilo! I might try a small block (220g @ $7.90) of the Angel Food Cheddar Cheese just out of curiosity? Hopefully, in time, competition might drive the prices down a bit?
