    Yup, that was poorly phrased. My bad. Let me try that again: I'd say a lot of people view meat substitutes as a healthier choice. But the Beyond Meat burger is, to me, the very definition of an "ultra-processed" food.

      "Ultra-processed => not good" does not imply "not ultra-processed => good". And I'm pretty sure people who believe Beyond is healthier are wrong regardless of how we classify Beyond Meat. (Though I'm not even sure the majority of Beyond Meat eaters believe it's healthier in the first place.)

        > Though I'm not even sure the majority of Beyond Meat eaters believe it's healthier in the first place. I disagree. I suspect a lot of people believe Beyond's products are healthier simply by virtue of not being meat. Heck, they might be right, though I tend to agree with you and suspect it's at best a wash. Also, thanks for the refresher on modus ponens and the fallacy of the inverse. ;) It's been a long time since formal logic... not that I miss it...
