Meat replacements are in large parts healthier than your typical highly processed foods. While that may be true, are they healthier than regular meat?

To reduce the environmental impact of our diet, our family cut down; a few years back; from meat with every evening meal, to meat 3 nights a week. It didn’t take long to get used to the change, and out diet probably became healthier for it.

We are lucky, in that we have the time to prepare most foods from scratch. There is very little ultraprocessed food in out diet. These meat alternatives give me pause, I like the idea of plant based meat alternatives, but the amount of processing to generate the product is concerning.
