Vegan Plant-based Butter from Fabindia

In India, despite published investigation reports confirming the contaminants in animal milk (check The Times of India) and published studies confirming that animal milk predisposes the human system to a plethora of health conditions and diseases such as of the heart, osteoporosis, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and so on (Check Save Our Bones Program, VegSource, SHARAN), in a last ditch attempt to hold onto our conditioned habit of consuming animal milk, we often reason, “But, Lord Krishna loved milk and butter!”.

What most of us do not want to concede is that Lord Krishna was a very evolved soul who had a personal connection with every cow whose milk He drank and with every calf whose mother’s milk He shared. Besides, in those days, the mother cows were not made artificially pregnant by thrusting human hands into their private parts or injected with hormones to increase milk production – a practice that cause them severe stomach cramps or sold off when milk production declined – to be slaughtered for the leather and beef “industry”. The male calves were not starved to death so that their “soft” skins can be made into “high-quality” leather goods. The cows instead lived their lives just as Nature intended, in harmony with all of Creation.

Dr. Will Tuttle in his interview here in the Vegan India! space has observed, “I have a friend from India who traveled the country and interviewed small family cow owners and he learned that he could ask two questions that would always reveal the cruelty to cows required by milk products. One question was, “What do you do with the male calves that are born?” The typical answer was, “We sell them.” The vast majority end up being sold and slaughtered for meat (either veal or beef). In some cases, they may be first castrated and used as oxen to work in fields, after which they are sold. The second question was, “What do you do with the female cows after their milk production declines?” Again, the cow owners would get uncomfortable and say, “We sell them.” Meat again. Or perhaps they let them go to wander the countryside, where they often starve slowly.”

This is the harsh reality of animal-based foods.

The best feature about the Fabindia range of plant butter is that they contain nothing but roasted nuts and seeds, salt, and sugar. In other words, this plant-based butter range does not contain hydrogenated vegetable oils, stabilizers, artificial flavors and preservatives, or a host of chemicals with long names in the listing under ‘Ingredients’.

Most of you know that there are Fabindia stores in many cities in the country; if you wish to locate the store nearest to you, you can click this link on the Fabindia website.
