I am not sure we can take a slogan from 2007 as a state of the art understanding.

But I am biased. I‘ve seen this slogan everywhere to promote UPFs that claim to be healthy because they are „vegan“.

Now that the market for meat alternatives has collapsed I don’t see this reasoning anymore. What a strange coincidence.

> the market for meat alternatives has collapsed

What country are you reporting from? It seems to be absolutely booming in the UK. A brief internet search suggests it's growing and predicted to boom in the US as well.

Yeah, though my Beyond Meat shares beg to differ on that. Down 95%!

UPF meat substitutes do tend to be healthier than their meat-based equivalent (see the SWAP-MEAT trial, for example).

I think people really underestimate how bad meat is for you.

It's extremely high in saturated fat and lots of meat is carcinogenic. We classify bacon in the same category of carcinogen as alcohol and tobacco. Meaning, we know, for sure, it causes cancer.

Me neither, I prefer common knowledge that has stood the test of time for a lot longer, like about 100 years more.

Not my downvote btw, corrective upvote actually.
