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.

    I’m so used to not having these products that I’d probably be sitting on the toilet for a long while if I tried it, so it’s a pass for me. I might open an exception if it’s human breast milk, because I’ve never tried it as an adult.
