This just proves you don't have a lot of knowledge about food.
First of all, there are many studies that show that plant-based meat alternatives are healthier than their meat counterparts. Just because a food is processed doesn't mean it's unhealthy. Or are you under the impresssion your sausage and burger patty are health foods?
Second, just like with non-vegan foods, there is a variety of plant-based meat alternatives: Some companies include much healthier ingredients than others.
Finally, even if it weren't for my two first points, the main goal of replacing animal meat with plant-based meat is not health, but ethics and environmental concerns (but again, it's not unhealthier).
- messe 23d ago> First of all, there are many studies that show that plant-based meat alternatives are healthier than their meat counterparts Define healthier, and link the studies. I eat vegetarian more often than not these days (although I don't usually use plant-based meat), and I'm not disagreeing with you. But cite your sources rather than making vague health claims.
- Lorkki 22d agoFair point, there's a lot of nutritional bunk going about. I'm not an expert either, but the Wikipedia article seems to cover the big studies that I've heard of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_alternative#Health https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_alternative#Health
- shafyy 22d ago> Define healthier, and link the studies. Well, why are people who are afraid of a long ingredient lists (without understanding what the ingredients actually are) and just blurt out that vegan meats are unhealthier not asked the same? In any case, the sister comment linked to some studies. Have a look. Also, a simple web search will show you that many animal-based meats (such as red meat) are linked to many cancers, this is not even disputed.
- srean 22d agoTried some local brand today. Am quiet satisfied with the kebabs. It's easier to fool in a kebab. Thanks to you I have updated my outdated prior. Things have certainly improved.
- shafyy 22d agoThanks for the comment, means a lot and speaks for you to be open minded and try out new things and update your assumptions <3. Certainly, the offering of plant-based meat and cheese alternatives have improved significantly in the past 5 years, and they keep improving.
