I am DYING for some cheese, so I went to the supermaket, and only found one type of non-dairy cheese- its was called 'veggie slices' and i looked on the back of the package, and the ingredients were soy and non fat milk! wtf..i mean if youre gonna make a soy cheese, why add in milk, even it is only 'alittle' Anyway, does anyone know any brand names of safe soy cheese?

I know exactly what you mean about missing cheese - I used to eat cheese every day and I MISS IT ALOT! 
I have tried two different types of dairy-free cheeses since I've been on this diet and I must admit neither really did anything for me.  I tried "Veggie Chef's Award" cheddar flavour cheese. It has no dairy in it but has lactic acid. You could try that one. I bought it at a regular grocery store (Loblaws) here in Canada. I also tried "Soyco Rice Mozzerella" cheese. It also has lactic acid but no dairy. I also got that one at a grocery store.
You might try going to a health food store that sells vegan cheese - I hope you find something that tastes good! If you do let me know because I haven't really been happy with the cheeses I've tried so far....

A lot of the soy cheeses contain casein (a milk protein). A lot of us can tolerate them fine - some can't. It's one of those things you have to see how it works for you.
Personally, I'm okay with it, includig Veggie Slices. I've never tried the vegan cheese yet, but I've never seen a good review on one yet either.

I actually bought some of that yesterday too. I miss cheese the most, the rest of the stuff I could live without, but I love cheese. And I really did not like the veggie slices at all. I did not even taste it really. I tasted no cheese flavor either. I was so disappointed

I'll have to try that! I've tried the "cheddar" melted in a quesadilla (in a flour tortilla with salsa) and I've tried the "mozzerella" melted in a quesadilla as well. I also tried melting it on a pizza. Neither of those tasted like much to me but I've never tried the slices - I've only tried the solid cheeses...

You're absolutely right! This stuff DOES contain milk! Lyndeigh, you're a very smart lady to notice that! I've been eating this stuff for a long time and never saw it.
DAMN! ..... Well, so much for Veggie Slices! I'm amazed that it never bothered me. I put it on everything. I eat the cheddar flavor, American, mozzarella, and (my fave) provolone.
RATS.
