Earlier quoted context omitted.

Comparing high quality meat with a highly processed "meat alternative" shouldn't be judge on taste, and they're not comparable otherwise. Beyond Meat burger ingredients: Water, Pea Protein*, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Refined Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Natural Flavors, Cocoa Butter, Mung Bean Protein, Methylcellulose, Potato Starch, Apple Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Vinegar, Lemon Juice…

Meat is muscle, not exactly what a body and brain needs.

That's quite the shallow, narrow view, no? I also said high fat meat, so you're not even responding honestly or correctly to what I said.

> Many of these things are not good for many people Irrelevant. They are fine for the absolute majority of people. For almost everyone in the world, eating Beyond Meat burgers would be better than meat burgers. You should eat according to your body’s needs, but just because you have GI issues does not devalue innovations in food technology.

Curious what your background and life experience is to make such statements? You're quite dismissive and claiming all of those foods are fine for the absolute majority of people is quite the grand statement, along with the statement that Beyond Meat burgers would be better than real meat burgers.

A pound of meat isn't the same as a pound of carrots. In case you're wondering about climate impact per calorie instead of per pound/kg, here's an interesting article from the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/vegetarian-or-... I see a lot of these charts that a pound of beef vs carrots. Just seems dumb, I would have to eat far more than a pound of carrots to match the calories of a pound…

Indeed, nutrient and calorie density + the quality of proteins in the food source are all important.
