It’s amazing the mental gymnastics people pull to avoid eating the God-given things that were clearly meant to sustain us.

It’s not affecting you, so why make such a big deal out of it? It’s not like meat has been outlawed.

Ever notice All the people avoiding meat are FAT? – Andy Rooney

F this bull. Fake meat tastes like sh!t and there are no RCTs proving it improves health.

Pure profit and fake health news.

Most of these seem more about environmental impacts than health.
Personally, I don’t care if a taco is veggies, fish, beef, jackfruit, or “seasoned crumbles,” I just want it to taste good. If they can reduce the impact (water/land/CO2/etc.) by half, that’s a great tiebreaker.

I also appreciate that it’s a free trial. Some of these really do taste terrible; others are great.

Pretty sure that weight loss isn’t the point of these products. It’s more about the environment and avoiding eating animals. Not sure why that upsets you. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it.

So you’ve tried all fake meats to make that statement?

Beyond is pretty good. I still eat meat, but I’ll eat it every now and then to mix it up.

No, I have not tried all fake meats. Perhaps Beyond tastes good. Flavor is subjective, so I will leave that for you to decide.

BUT most people sacrifice flavor, waste money, degrade health, and tricked into thinking anything that *might* improve climate change is a worthy trade-off for nutrient dense meats.

Here are some truths the fake meat companies will not tell you:
1. All fake meats are HIGHLY processed. Highly processed foods cause an increase in insulin, leading to obesity and diabetes. Most fake meats have stealth preservatives like MSG (yeast extract) that slowly destroy neurons and create hunger. They may be lower in calories, but not lower in ability to create fat cells.

2. Most fake meats cost much more than real meat.

3. Explain how IF humans are responsible for climate change HOW the world will reverse these changes since Chine and India, the biggest carbon polluters by far, will not make changes. The US only generates 30% of carbon emissions they do.

4. The best measure of climate change is comparing sea level in the past to now. Can you show proof ALL sea levels have risen dramatically in the last 50 or 100 years compared to now?

Real things to think about and question. I used to think meat was so evil before as well, until I discovered all these things above, and more.

Most “news” today is opinions lacking data, lacking measurements of before and after, etc.
