You don't think it's possible somebody who's been advised to eat more iron might be drawn to "high in iron" veggie patties at the supermarket?

- lozenge 4y agoThat's an issue of labelling regulation which applies to every product. And, I've never seen such a label.
- tedunangst 4y agoPerhaps somebody should study these products to determine if the labels accurately describe the nutritional value.
- UglyToad 4y agoAre the patties high in iron and are they making that claim? I don't know. Orange juice is also high in vitamin C and makes that claim so low information consumers think it's ok to have their children drink litres of the stuff since it's "healthier than soda". The problem you're highlighting has far more to do with the negative aspects of a capitalist food system (marketing and branding) and is far broader than whether these particular patties that are primarily selected on the basis their contents didn't die in terror surrounded by the stench of death with a boltgun through the skull have insufficient zinc or whatever. Like sure proper labelling and branding is important, for all foods, but I'm reacting to the perceived broader campaign on behalf of the meat industry to single out meat replacements on the basis of them not being, I don't know, as healthy as a prime cut of wagyu beef prepared in the healthiest oil with a side salad of greens (no dressing).
