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.
no no no it's dairy milk, like, actual whey protein, but I guess they use fungi to ferment it from sugar or something like that idk
feels wrong to call it plant based, but that's just my opinion I guess
ah. well I guess I'd have to know where they get the whey from
the whey comes from sugars being fermented by genetically modified organisms
Sorry I'm realizing you already said that and I can't read.
I get what you mean about it not being plant based but I also wouldn't say it has anything to do with animals either
