    Pretty good chance eating the cat would have a more significant and immediate positive impact on the populations of your local woodland critters.

    Sorry Dexter, it’s for the greater good.

    Dang. I read through all the ingredients on the left expecting it to be wrong or off. It’s dead on. Wife can’t have red meat so we use this for her and the ingredients are spot on. Way to be honest with your shit post!!!

      And they look pretty nasty, some of them. Currently it’s healthier to eat non plant meat, but it would be great to have healthy plant based options

      Edit it’s mostly the refined oil and salt content

          Saw this earlier this year, https://lemmy.world/post/16397773?scrollToComments=true

          There’s also this new study, but don’t know if there were any conflict of interest shenanigans https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-a-study-on-ultraprocessed-fake-meat-and-heart-disease-really-found/

          If you’re not eating a processed plant based meat, so like just having tofu or seitan, you’re better off. But the processed patties are not great like any other processed or deli foods

            The article you linked debases the study it is about because the study classifies cookies, wine, beer, chocolate bars and pizza as plant-based and then proves they are bad for you (shocker). While my study compares meat replacements with the meat they are replacing which is what we were discussing.

            And still your study declares it is healthier to be vegan:

            for every 10 percent increase in consumption of foods that were not ultraprocessed but still plant-based—such as pasta, beans and potatoes—the risk of heart disease fell by 7 percent, and mortality did so by 13 percent.

              I wasn’t saying it’s unhealthy to be vegan, I said the processed vegan patty looked disgusting and I stand by it. When you make a patty with ground beef or chickpeas/lentils it’s a much less processed and healthy product. I listed two articles, both which say processed foods are bad, regardless of being vegan

          This is something I can’t get my head around… why is fat bad? Why is saturated fat bad? I mean chemically - like trans-fats are totally bad for you because they molecularly bind to nasty stuff that makes you sick, and cholesterol appears “big” and “small”, where the “big” is the good cholesterol.

          But less fat in regular products generally means that they added stuff nobody needs, like sugar and ingredients with more syllables than Indians have names.

      Carnivores tend to taste like their diet which can obviously vary a lot. You’ll find a hundred different answers, but mostly it’s not great, if we had something like a ‘farm raised’ option it might at least be consistent.
