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.
The reason I’m asking this is because they have animal-free “dairy” milk, apparently, as I just found out. It’s expensive but it’s about on par with rice/soy/nut milks, I think? it’s like $5.29 for a quart
not cheap enough to replace drinking dairy milk if you’re someone who does that, but IMO cheap enough to consider for use in recipes which call for milk which you’d like to try to make vegan
i curse the federal government for giving me a taste for cold milk and cheese due to all of the government cheese & powdered milk i grew up consuming. lol
i’da just stopped there tbh
