I, as a True Leftist and thus an anti-relativist, do it proudly!
I do the vegan version, of course.
I do precisely this as often as possible in order to insert veganism into the conversation.
Yes!
Yes! In my case, soy milk. This establishes my quantifiable superiority over dairy consumers:

Unlike cream, soy milk is cheaper too:

Next, I will practice invidious comparison physiognomy:
That is fine. But I would have chosen a model with a narrower FWHR.
I am also a supporter of invidious comparison music:

"ICE" Is One Of The Rudest Dining Habits Ever, And You Might Be Doing It
I, as a True Leftist and thus an anti-relativist, do it proudly!
Quote
The scene: It’s an hour into a dinner party you’re hosting for “friends.” (Note the quotes.) Most of your guests are on their second (or third) round of adult beverages and are tucking into the main course — sumptuous grilled shrimp paired with grits, the latter of which you made yourself according to an old family recipe. Shouts of approval echo from around the table, but then you hear a very audible murmur: “These grits are good. However, you know, when I make them I use real cream, not milk.”
I do the vegan version, of course.
Quote
If this situation sounds familiar, you’re one of millions of estimated Americans who has borne witness to what could be called “invidious comparison eating,” or ICE.
Potentially the most passive-aggressive bad-dining habit, ICE is when a person indirectly asserts a dish they’re consuming is lesser by listing the “superior” merits of another version (usually their own). ICE can play out in any sort of group meal setting (e.g., restaurants or coffee shops), but it’s particularly offensive when it transpires in a domestic space, right in front of the home cook.
I do precisely this as often as possible in order to insert veganism into the conversation.

invidious comparison as “a process of valuation of persons in respect of worth,”
Yes!
Quote
it’s not enough that your dinner party “friend” can afford to purchase and deploy real cream when they make grits; this fact must also be broadcast to the masses to establish their superiority.
Yes! In my case, soy milk. This establishes my quantifiable superiority over dairy consumers:

Soy milk is generally cheaper to produce than dairy milk. Soybeans are less expensive to grow and process than the feed, labor, and other costs associated with dairy cows.

She's about to tell you how she makes her own (better) version.
That is fine. But I would have chosen a model with a narrower FWHR.
