the part that most vegans forget is meat alternatives are highly/ultra processed foods. And they really aren’t ‘healthier’ most of the time.
It’s all marketing. Vegans I have known are some of the most unhealthy people I have met… but they insist it’s meat that is awful. No, it’s their poor nutritional habits born out of their false beliefs that veganism is superior to non veganism, inherently. It isn’t.
Everything these days is all about the ideological agenda uber alles. Most lemmy users I’ve seen are highly ideological and have very little interest in facts or truth or nuance/complexity. Everything is a catch phrase w/them, just like the MAGA types they pretend they are better than.
This is all demonstrably false and goes against the available evidence.
Here’s a good Lancet study that investigates ultra processed foods by sub-type and looks at the health impact. Those who are meat and sugary drinks with artificial sweeteners had the highest incidences of cancer. Those who ate high amounts of ultra process plant based alternatives had a lower cancer rate than the base population. Believe what you want, but when it comes to cancer, eating ultra processed plant based products is better than meat.
