Great, another way to load up on Omega 6 acids via vegetable oil. Exactly what Americans need. Hello obesity and inflammation disorders. The for-profit medical industry in the US will love this.

I'm a vegetarian, so it doesn't affect me too much, but you meat eaters may be better off with moderate consumption of actual (good quality) meat.



If you're worried about health, then skip the fake meat debate and just tell people to stop eating at McDonald's.

People are comparing these patties to premium, unprocessed meat, and that's just not what McDonald's has ever been serving. I don't think anyone is going to McDonald's or Pizza Hut and thinking to themselves "I need to make sure this burger doesn't have too many trans fats." The fake meat on your pizza is not as big of a health problem as, for example, the massive amount of thick-bread pizza crust and sweetened tomato sauce.

So it's a bit like arguing about the health benefits of substituting almond milk in a chocolate fudge recipe. You may have a legitimate point, but the context around that point matters.


So this is the next debate point from vegans etc towards meat eaters?

"don't eat that fake meat bs bc it is harmful to you, eat" natural meat instead "?

Don't you see that it is a bit against the general best interest of ppl? As to even begin most of the population are not eating organic meat by a long shot


By good quality I don’t think the OP meant organic. But meat that hasn’t been processed like in fast food...


Yes, exactly. You don't have to eat organic. Just avoid meat from cows raised on corn and soy and copious amount of antibiotics. Which is probably 90% of the beef in the US.


> "don't eat that fake meat bs bc it is harmful to you, eat" natural meat instead "?

Yes.
