This is amazing but even as a runner who loves to make my own "processed" food this really reads like a submarine article for the dairy industry.

"I used to be vegan, but you know I just can't liveeeeeeee without that real butter!!!!!!!"

The idea of butter being good doesn't strictly seem like it demands a conspiracy theory.

The implication is that the lack of good butter made someone abandon veganism … while possible, it seems unlikely?

		Unless they were just using it as an example because they were asked about butter!

		I've known people abandon veganism (for vegetarianism) over cheese, since it's such a common ingredient in restaurant food. Butter feels a little less likely.

Some people call themselves vegans but will still use animal products that they feel are ethical. Also, some vegans do occasionally use animal products just because they want to.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy but it’s weird that the vegan topic even came up in this article because it is immaterial to the main topic.

I think about 90% of the time veganism has come up in conversations I've been a part of, it's been unrelated to the main topic being discussed.

		Regardless of the vegan part the point still stands. It was also my first though reading the article before I came here to read the comments.
