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? -- Thanks, Ken <*> [log in to unmask]
