The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he's in isn't accommodating his vegan diet.

Do you really expect a jail to cook things in butter? If they could get away with it, they would probably cook things in waste oil from the next garage.

True enough, but it was just an example. More likely something like mashed potato will have milk or other dairy. Even vegetarian nutriloaf might not qualify as vegan.

Point is not everything that starts out vegan ends up vegan on the plate.

Most margarine isn't vegan either.

It isn't? What do they put in there to make it non-vegan? The whole idea was to get rid of the expensive animal parts...

They usually contain buttermilk or whey (on top of vegetable fat of some kind). They won't be vegan unless they specifically say they are.
