    In general, plant-rich diets should prioritise whole foods

    Stop making processed garbage that tastes like animal products.

      Rude immature comment first off.

      People don’t want the animal abuse and the processed plant stuff is actually healthier than processed meat and red meat.

      It’s the mainstream media fear-mongering in order to protect the interests of animal agriculture.

      People generally want to eat tasty things. I would say it is an improvement if the tasty thing they turn to is plant instead of animal based. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good?

        ProVeg found that many exceeded healthy limits on salt,

        Can confirm, people like tasty things and this slop needs all the help it can get.

        Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good only makes sense if it’s actually in competition with something good.

        Almonds use absurd amounts of freshwater that we’re kinda running low on globally. plant based milks all contain some amount of seed oil. and it’s all packaged in plastic and shipped around the world instead of grown locally.

        Which to be fair is all problems with capitalism and not veganism.

      have you ever noticed this processed frankencrap is always trying to mimick meat and dairy, why is it never soy or rabbit food flavour?

    This is great to hear. I see a lot of bad faith arguments from carnist about the nutritional aspect of plant based meats. If you want vitamins, eat veg. I find it hard to take a person seriously when they act as though the barrier to veganism is the efficiency with which they can ingest protein.

      Carnists raise these arguments but then stuff themselves with fast food and other unhealthy stuff.

      1.3g of salt average per 100g for plant-based meat vs. 1.1g of salt average per 100g of animal meat. So yes, they’re comparable now. This is directly in the article by the way, a quick click would have answered this for you.

      I always thought this focus on salt was strategic given the amount of salt in most processed foods that are often also consumed by carnists and SAD followers. If I ate meat I’d probably be more worried about heart disease than excess salt in an already processed food…
