Food is just not about taste, but health and nutrition as well. Have you actually critically looked into the health and nutritional impact of plant-based burgers?
- ElijahLynn 7y agoWell, I don't consider either real meat or Beyond Meat to be healthy by any means. So I just consider it a more environmental and ethical alternative. I have looked into the health impact of plant vs animal calories for many years of my life and am convinced a diet low in caloric intake from animal products (10% or less of total caloric intake) is quite correlative to long term health. I follow the work of Dr. Fuhrman who has sources for nearly all of his claims. So besides cholesterol, plant protein vs animal protein has a big impact on health, in my research. e.g. How many people go to the hospital or die everyday for protein deficiency vs protein abundance?
- sridca 7y agoTry to look into the science. You may be surprised to discover that there is not single RCT comparing a (fresh-)meat-based versus plant-based diet (eg: not mixing in sugar laden latte in the former). Personally I'm happy that I had never bought into the whole anti-meat propaganda: http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/food/meats/ http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/food/meats/
