I am a Meat-Eating, Milk-Drinking, Butter-Consuming Vegan
Показать описание
I’ve been vegan for 20 years, and I’ve been eating meat the entire time. I’ve also been drinking milk and baking with butter.
Not mock meat. Not fake butter. Not imitation milk.
I eat real food based on real ingredients. I don’t consume substitutes, alternatives, analogs, or replacements.
I drink milk — made from nuts, grains, legumes, or seeds.
I also eat butter, which has more to do with fat than animal fluids – as in “peanut butter” or “cocoa butter.”
I even eat meat, which comes from the Old English word mete, which originally referred to solid food rather than a beverage. This history is still evident in our language when we say “coconut meat” or the “meat of a nut,” and it is in that vein that I embrace and consume meat made from plants.
Far from “fake,” these foods reside in the major plant kingdoms from which we derive much of our pleasure and most of our nutrition. In using words that celebrate rather than belittle the plant foods of the world, we normalize the healthful, humane way of eating called “vegan.” ~Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
