I’d echo the tip previous, that vegan-substitutes for things (like cheese) are not going to be exactly the same, so don’t go in to things thinking “this has to be exactly like X”. Instead of cheese sauce, it’s just a really nice sauce made from cashews and potatoes and carrots and nutritional yeast.
.
Also cravings fade with time. I used to think I couldn’t go vegan because I loved pizza and ice cream so much. Now I don’t really miss them. And it’s easier than ever now to indulge those cravings when you really want to, with all the great options now.

if we didn’t get that information, more people would have died.

Can you cite a source for this ?

It is “Math” and not “Maths”
