The article warns that the products contain salt, fat, and sugar.
Sugar is undoubtedly a health risk but salt and fat aren’t necessarily bad for you. I think the medical consensus on recommended salt levels is still subject to debate.
Many of these substitute foods probably are “ultraprocessed” and may be of questionable value to health, though. When it comes to a plant-based burger, personally I pick something like a lentil/quinoa/barley burger over one that tries to pretend to be meat.

Yeah. We're pretty horrific at figuring out what's actually a health issue and what isn't. Twenty years ago the research said carbs were good, salt and fat were bad. Now most of the research coming out seems to go the other way.
