Just because an item is vegan friendly doesn't necessarily mean that it's healthy. Take one of my newest purchases: Sour Supreme. I found this beauty in Fred Meyer. Thinking about how much better my very dry baked potatoes would be with a little simu-sour cream, I decided to give it a shot. However, I didn't take the time to read the ingredient list; I just saw the words "Dairy Free", "No Milk", and "Buttermilk Free".
I returned home and was poised to dollup some said sour-something-or-other on my piping hot potato when I took a moment to read the ingredients:
The second ingredient is partially hydrogenated soybean oil!
The first three ingredients in
regular sour cream are milk, cream, and whey.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather have natural products than factory-fabricated fats!
