The research shows that plant-based meat is healthier.
There is no such thing as plant-based meat. There are plant-based protein products shaped like meat. And since they are all highly processed compared to actual meat, I would like to see longer-term studies before assuming any of that stuff is safe. Meanwhile, I’m sticking to tofu and tempeh. They’re processed too, but at least we have a few centuries of actual usage to look at when considering safety.
Just as a sidenote, tempeh is actually a whole food. It’s whole beans, fermented, which has the added benefits of making the beans more digestible, and reducing bloating.
