Artificial chicken stuffed with soy and other fillers can't be long term indistinguishable to your body.
I wish you lasting health, but fear you are suggesting we all gamble on the oversight and benevolence of the food industry by eating even more processed, engineered foods than even Doritos or Taco Bell as your main protein source(s).
Yes, industrial food does bad things to produce large amounts of chicken, but there are quality farmers still in business, and I'll take a real, dead bird, fish or cow (and occasional pig, though harder to defend) any day over engineered replacement proteins.

I'll happily eat a vegan meal made from fresh and locally produced ingredients and prepared by a skilled chef. The vegan "burgers" and "sausages" from the store? I won't touch them any more than I'd touch frozen chicken nuggets or fish fingers.
