As U.S. consumers look to cut down their meat consumption, plant-based meats from Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have become popular.Instead, they recommend eating less processed options and choosing more whole foods.
Meatless burgers are a step in the right direction, she said. For consumers who are just starting to cut out meat, options that taste familiar can make the transition easier. Rumsey pointed to the amounts of sodium and saturated fat in plant-based burgers, which is roughly the same as that in a traditional beef burger.
Perez, who specializes in plant-based diets at the Charge Group, said that people looking to eat veggie burgers a few times a week should make theirs at home instead.
But healthier for the planet
Ugh your headlines are so misleading I cringe. The dietician doesn’t say they’re unhealthy. Anyways, when has a burger been a healthy choice to begin with? Plenty of options. I don’t think any vegan burger producer is trying to achieve that, this article is missing the point.
Awkward.
Obviously yes they are. Peas don't have mad cow or growth hormones not to mention what's in the feeds.
There are healthier protein options but after reviewing the nutritional content of Beyond Meat burger patties I'd say that Beyond Meat is healthier than real meat. 25% less fat. 0% cholesterol. Additionally you get fiber. Meat has none. Want protein? Eat beans and nonfat milk.

If u want to be a vegetarian, or just limit meat, just eat vegetables. Why do we need processed vegetables? Makes no sense 🤷♂️
Vegetarian diet is generally as bad for the world as meat. The amount of chemicals on crops especially in poor exporting nations like Kenya where it runs into rivers and poisons the local people
read the ingredients and you will know NEVER to eat the chemical product
It’s not about nutrition. It is about not enslaving and slaughtering other sentient species just to improve the flavor of our lunch.
the dietitians get paid by the beef industry?
