Love this post, love the follow up!
"Try this vegan butter! It tastes so much better than regular butter!"
Later; "What is this? I have to buy it!"
"It tastes better because it's significantly worse for you!"
I mean, butter from animal products would be even worse than the vegan version - but that doesn't make the vegan version healthy in any way.
However, I would always default to vegan alternatives, as living and feeling animals are not exploited in the process of making them. And when I can make dishes vegan and more nutrient dense and tasty by using whole food ingredients, it's a win-win for me. 😇
I'm vegan, that's where the convo in my example came from (letting my friends try my vegan butter). The vegan butter I use has like 10x the cholesterol of the dairy-based. I still eat the vegan kind by principle, but the nutrition is significantly worse.
