To wax philosophical:
I like your description of veganism in terms of an indivdual making choices aligned with their ethics and values. In truth one's diet is a choice that has ethical ramifications to both self and others. Idiosyncracies and inconsistencies do not matter in one's personal mythos. Because life is always changing, no diet is permanent. It's more about one's trajectory.
I posted the recipe as my sister gave it to me. She has made her own "butter" from non-dairy milk. I figure if she did that work she can call it what she likes.
Traditionally, cow bones are used to process sugar and make it white in a cheap and effective way. If that bothers someone then vegan sugar is another option.
