lot of fake food propaganda on the internet lately

fake meak was proven to be non-healhtly, and now fake cheese

if i want cheese i'll buy cheese, stop trying to sell me fake things as X, because it clearly is not the same thing

meat and cheese are what they are because the animals eat plenty of things and they are living creatures, you can't replicate this

can we stop promoting pseudo VC startups, they clearly are only interested in making money, STOP

also only americans will use "cheese" as a universal word

what kind of cheese? do they know it's not yellow and it doesn't come from an aluminum tube?

Here [0] is a series of nine short videos (with text transcripts and links to all scientific sources) on plant-based meat substitutes' health and environmental impact. The reported findings go against your claim.

Nutritionfacts is ideologically driven[1], advocating a plant-based diet. What exactly did you expect?

Actual "nutrition facts" are few and far between. I could selectively cite all kinds of studies that go for or against veganism. They're all flawed in some way, so people can just dismiss what they don't want to hear.

They advocate a whole-foods plant-based diet. Meats/cheeses made out of plants aren't whole foods though. Generally we have to think critically and scrutinize sources cited and if they back up claims made. Do you have some such specific objection in this case?

Fake meat was never made because of the health benefits. People want impossible burgers because they are unhealthy and taste like burgers.

I mean, you certainly can. Look at the companies making 'clean' meat and fish.
