While Beyond burgers and sausages are highly processed, so are the meat versions. As for replicating meat--where is the replication? Do they taste like cooked flesh? No, they taste like the seasoning, their texture is that of wheat, soy and other plant foods
When stem cell meats become available I will refer to them as replicants, but for now, the plant burgers and sausages are simply using the same seasoning and smoking techniques they use with beef, chickens and pig bases
Geez, people lost their minds when they used turkey for bacon and ham, now plants
If you want to speak about a healthy diet, why not specify it as wfpb, and leave the word vegan to mean "no animal products"
Gimme that bag of kettle chips, and a diet coke....
I get ticked off about people claiming that in order to be healthy as a vegan you need to log in some website to monitor your daily diet, and really watch how much of everything you eat. While it is true that wfpb is by far the superior diet to prevent and even reverse diseases. just knowing something about nutrition and quitting animals is no worse than the typical diet of an omnivore (with B12, which omnis usually need too...)
The whole "a vegan diet is quite possible with careful meal planning...)
. Sure if you don't find out how bad your old diet was
