It’s also closer to butter than butter alternatives. It’s not made to be more healthy, just more planet friendly.
Fake food is going to be more healthy than the real deal?
Sure buddy
This fallacy is called an appeal to nature.
It is also a fact that butter is a staple food that has been used for thousands of years with a proven track record.
This fallacy is called an appeal to tradition.
Just because something is fallacy the way it was presented does not make it wrong if he facts check out :)
Your facts don't check out, that's what makes you wrong. Fallacies are just the symptom.
Is butter not the best product in its class? both from health ie nutrition value and taste perspective?
Not anymore. This product matches butter on both counts and puts out much less pollution and takes up much less land than factory farming. I urge you to actually read the article, many of your points are addressed within.
I am just going with ol realiable
y'all have fun testing another "product"
This is called the fallacy of being a dope.
I trust you bro
*hydrocarbon, not carbohydrate (the latter contains oxygen). Otherwise spot on.
🤡🤡🤡
So headline is a bit of PR voodoo as i expected.
Big food companies has made a lot of afford to discredit butter and eggs since these foods are very good and cheap, aka processed food industry's main competition.
Don't trust them. Read the article, use your brain, and understand why your comments are wrong.
Yes daddy
What are you, 12?
This may be a logical fallacy known as false equivalence, when one fact is stated or implied to be conflated with another not directly related fact.
So was margarine before veganism was a widespread thing?
They said it's NOT made to be more healthy.
It won't be, it's processed shite
OKAY
So is any meat, mayonnaise, even butter is processed. Ever went into a fast food chain? Most ingredients are processed to the bits.
You better not take any medicine, that super processed? And Coca cola or any energy drinks? Bleh, made in labs!
I guess you only eat whole grains collected by you, that must suck.
Dam y'all really getting bent on shape over this lol
I wrote it’s not made to be more healthy, because that’s the current marketing of butter alternatives. This isn’t claiming to be more healthy. The compounds are the same as the fatty acids in butter.
It’s simply a way to get butter while reducing carbon dioxide, rather than increasing it.
If it's chemically identical, what does it matter if it's come from dairy, this process, or a Star Trek replicator?
Fake medicine is going to be more healthy than the real (plant) deal? Sure buddy.
It's not made to be more healthy, just more planet friendly.
Good or bad, it's still processed food.
That's my half-assed neutral statement. I choose not to eat processed foods. As long as there's disclosure, I don't care.
What people eat or don't eat is their business.
