Just wondering what the consensus would be. Is it good and fine (if you like the taste, of course) because it is truly 100% vegan? Or would y’all consider it a horrifying simulacrum of a product of cruelty towards animals?
I am asking because I’m a vegan chef and I was excited to find out that they’re making animal-free “dairy” milk through bacterial/fungal fermentation, because plant based “milks” don’t really work the same as cow milk does. And theoretically if it has the right proteins/fats it could be used to make vegan cheese that has the actual properties of cheese? So like I think it’s very exciting personally. But I’d like to know what others think before I suggest we try to order some, since it’d be a waste if nobody actually wanted to eat anything made with it.
Does it have cholesterol like regular animal milks? The health implications would be a factor to consider for many folks.
this specific product I saw on Target’s website says 0 cholesterol
Something important and that you should mention (especially because I did not expect it) is that it’s also lactose free. As a lactose intolerant person who actually embraced veganism because of this that’s interesting
yeah I guess, I guess I just don’t think that’s that important since you can also use lactase pills if lactose intolerance is what puts you off from animal milk. At least they work for me, I’ve seen other people say they still can’t tolerate milk, so idk
That is definitely intriguing then.
