Yes, absolutely.
- MuffinFlavored 7y agoDoes this mean that it isn't technically "healthy" for you?
- asokoloski 7y agoYep. In fact, in order to make it more meat-like, they added a chemical called "heme" (it's what makes meat seem "bloody"). There's evidence that heme is a carcinogen. And of course the burgers include large amounts of saturated fat in the form of coconut oil. All that said -- it's probably no worse than a meat burger, but it doesn't hurt animals, and it doesn't contribute to global warming, so if the choice is between that and beef, go nuts!
- skohan 7y agoBut it might be much worse than a beef burger from a health perspective. Grass-fed beef in moderate quantities in the context of the right diet can be very healthy for you.
- MuffinFlavored 7y ago> in moderate quantities in the context of the right diet How much grass-fed beef should an average person consume in a day/week/month?
