If you use clarified butter (aka "ghee"), it has no protein whatsoever, and thus
I think it should be chemically equivalent to animal fat.

Which reminds me - a question:

Cow eats vegetable matter.

It then does one of two things with that ingested vegetable matter:

(1) It makes muscles and fat out of it.

(2) It makes milk out of it for its calf.

How can the milk be "foreign protein" and the muscle is not?
