[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who is very into cooking, and especially cooking that involves a challenge.  We have a vegan friend who visits regularly, and one thing my kid has gotten very into is figuring out how to make vegan versions of various recipes.

We are omnivore in our family, and that isn't likely to change.  But as we discover vegan substitutes that are equally as good, as sometimes they are, does it make sense to just change over?

Assume similar level of processedness (e.g. I'm not asking if I should eat twinkies or oreos instead of my homemade wholewheat muffins that have some egg)

A few examples -- baked goods that taste pretty much the same with eggs or flax eggs, caesar salad dressing made with tahini and capers instead of eggs and anchovies, gnudi made with home made tofu ricotta instead of milk ricotta, smoothies with coconut yogurt instead of milk yogurt,  stuffing made with vegetable broth and seitan sausage with seitan instead of chicken broth and turkey sausage.
