Certainly true.
But, as an example, the Impossible Burger notably has more fat and significantly more salt than its meat-based brethren. Sure, it may be purchased due to a perceived variety of other benefits (sustainability, animal rights, etc) totally unrelated to the healthiness of the product, but it's objectively not a healthier option.
- La1n 5y ago>objectively not a healthier option. I am not saying you are wrong, but there is a whole lot more to "healthiness" than amount of fat and salt.
- andor 5y agoThe Impossible Burger has about 12% fat which is quite lean. As far as I understand, the meat in most burgers is around 20% fat. Adding things like breadcrumbs, eggs or onions to the patties will of course change the amount.
- CarelessExpert 5y ago> The Impossible Burger has about 12% fat which is quite lean. As far as I understand, the meat in most burgers is around 20% fat. Depends on the beef. I looked the numbers up before I commented, and a simple beef burger made with lean ground beef weighs in at 11% fat, slightly less than the Impossible version (though yup, I admit, basically equivalent, which is what I should've said).
- AlgorithmicTime 5y agoBurger meat may start at 80/20 lean/fat, but when you cook it, you're rendering out a good chunk of the fat.
