The more apt comparison for these types of items talked about in this article is to processed meat products. Do meat eaters eat fast food quality hamburgers on a daily basis for “real nutrition”?
- paulnechifor 6y agoIt takes more "alchemy" to make vegetables look and taste like processed meat than it takes to turn meat into processed meat. Edit: Wow, vegan valley bros are so easily upset.
- sthnblllII 6y agoIt stuffs its face with neoliberal schemes or else it gets the downvote again. Just to add a bit more here, I would be ok with the massive marketing and media push from capital to sell dirt cheap less-nutritious processed foods as a substitute for real meat if the billionaires and such like were actually making tangible sacrifices to their own lifestyles. Obviously they are not, but they still think they can trick us into believing we can be morally superior by paying porterhouse prices for potato flower and xanthin gum.
- rsynnott 6y ago> sell dirt cheap less-nutritious processed foods as a substitute for real meat In general, the primary market for processed vegan food is people who currently buy processed meat-based food. Supermarkets, of course, already sell vegetables and legumes.
- maxk42 6y agoProcessed meat products (including most fast food hamburger meat) are "processed" by adding textured vegetable protein (TVP). What's TVP? It's processed soy flour. It's what makes up 100% of most meat alternatives on the market. So I'm not sure what point you thought you were making, but you're reinforcing the OP's argument. Edit: Typo.
- daveoc64 6y agoA lot of the "modern" meat/dairy alternatives intentionally don't contain soy, as soy has gained (unfairly in my opinion) a poor reputation. It's a selling point to be soy free.
