minus-squareSpzi@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·11 months agoMaybe it has become worse since all those vegan or vegetarian fast food options became available in stores and restaurants. When I hear non-vegs talk about living meat-free, the conversation always revolves around these meat substitutes, how unhealthy they are. It does not come to their mind one can prepare a meal from fresh produce. Yes of course, fast food is unhealthy. On the other hand, I like it.
minus-squareSkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoAre the meat substitutes actually bad, though? Certainly can’t be worse than normal fast food.
minus-squareSer Salty@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoThe unhealthiest part about them is just gonna be that they’re salty, fried and greasy, just like other fast food. It’s just a lump of plant fibres (usually peas or wheat these days, I find) thrown in a frier.
