      This is why I don't eat Beyond Meat and Impossible burgers.. they're likely even worse for you than what they're purporting to be the healthy alternative to

        Can you give any reason why you believe they are likely worse for you outside of nature=good manmade=bad?

            It's a ridiculous reason, and one founded on romanticist views of an idealised nature that does not exist.

              Medicine isn't good for you its just usually better than the alternative.

              Natural isn't better than man made but you have evolved along with shit that's in nature to consume I think that's why the more refined a thing is the more dangerous it is to consume

                unfalsifiable nonsense. I refuse to argue over “things I like are good, things I dislike are bad” semantic bullshit. if you think medicine of all things isn’t made for profit, I have a series of landmarks to sell you

                  Medicine has existed outside of a profit motive for millennia. Even animals self medicate.

        I'm sure some marketing suggests these things are healthier, but they're really just an animal-cruelty free alternative.

        This is like when coworkers ask if a vegan is vegan for health reasons. I'm sure as hell not, I eat like shit lmao. Just no animal products.
