I don't think eating something vegan is *any healthier* than the alternatives at all. It just hasn't come from an animal product. If I was starving and had no option I may eat a vegan croissant-imitation-pastry again, however I'll never do so willingly. Normally if something has *vegan* in front of it I'll avoid it...Today I erred, however have learned a valuable lesson which is, vegans are happy to eat food that taste's like shit and delude themselves it tastes just like the real thing.
