ew? its just plants prepared in familiar form factors and flavor profiles. let people enjoy plants the way they want.
Highly processed foods are actually quite bad for human nutrition, the more processed they are the worst.
That's not specifically a problem for meat substitutes.
I expect that when you're trying to make plants taste and feel like meat there's a lot of processing involved as well as a lot of funnily named additives which might or not fall (or latter been discovered as falling) into to the "possibly carcinogenic" category.
Maybe that's were the previous poster is coming from: best just eat good vegetarian food that's enjoyable on its own merits than go for highly processed food loaded with additives to try and emulate meat's flavor profile and texture.
i understand all those generalizations, and i dont take issue with any of them. Im not like super upset at them or anything, just replying to the energy i was picking up. No hate, just wish people would chill about telling other vegans/vegetarians how to eat.
