Because they’re running counter to big agribusiness and other evil government and corporate types, it piques my interest, but most of these people seem dangerously adjacent to “carnivore diet” weirdos. I’m vegan I’m not gonna use tallow dude. Coconut oil would be fine thanks.
Anyone smarter than me know the real score?
Honestly I can't be bothered. All the seed and vegetable oil stuff seems like broscience BS. And even if vegetable oils were less healthy, there's no alternative for vegans so that would just be a sacrifice we have to make. Why bother investigating. I'm gonna deep fry burritos in corn oil til I start getting fat, and then deep fry slightly less.
Real question: What about margarine?
Margarine is just seed oils with butter flavoring.
Chemichally it's a different thing, but my question is, is it non vegan? And also, can you use it as general fat?
I don't recommend cooking with it tbh.
aaw,
It's probably vegan but who knows, "natural flavoring" in the ingredients list can be anything. I've got some in my fridge but I sure wouldn't want to deep fry with it.
