Same. I'm highly sceptical of plant-based meat substitutes from a health perspective. There's so much we don't know about micronutrients, bioavailability, and the human body, I don't believe that these highly processed alternatives are fully known to be healthy replacements for real meat, even if they tick the macronutrient boxes of sufficient protein and B-complex. It strikes me as something akin to a tasty multivitamin at best.
We're already so far removed from the way out ancestors ate meat (various organs, connective tissue) and this is yet another step away from that.
Cultured meat seems to be a way to get the real thing without the negative side effects of environment damage and animal cruelty.
