More suggestions, if someone wants to create a product that I personally would be enthusiastic to try:
* No weird yeast or fungal ingredients -- living or dead. I get fatigue after consuming that stuff. My body doesn't respond well to it. I suppose the most ordinary sort of mushrooms are probably OK.
* Infuse with iodized salt, healthy fats, and spices for flavor. Overall good taste is much more important than replicating meat flavor/mouthfeel. I assume if you iterate on the spices enough, you can come up with something that tastes incredible.
I'm imagining a heavily fortified, compressed bean patty of some kind. I suppose with beans you'd have to account for phytates interfering with nutrient absorption, though.

* No eggs, they're pretty suffering-intensive: https://sandhoefner.github.io/animal_suffering_calculator
* Minimally processed ingredients preferred.
