As said, for many, these items are not about health. They are to lower carbon emissions from animal farming, and preventing animal cruelty. Is vegan food healthy? Well, potato chips and beer are vegan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the US, my wife recently got chicken and pork for about $1.50/lb on sale, cheaper than tofu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgw Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'm happy about these products. Let them vegans eat them - at 500 baht/Kg it's no problem, vegans are said to be highly educated and skilled workers, so they probably get the high wages required to buy these products. I'll continue to buy delicious ribeye for about 300 baht/Kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Here's an interesting article and chart from Harvard Health that looks at the nutrition / health issues for two of the most popular brands of these kinds of products. The sodium levels are a real issue for the Impossible Burger ande Beyond Burger products. The Impossible burger products are soy based. The Beyond Burger products are pea protein based. Impossible and Beyond: How healthy are these meatless burgers? The protein content of these newer plant-based burgers has been created to compete with beef and poultry gram for gram. Both the Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger have comparable amounts, the former deriving protein mainly from soy and the later from peas and mung beans. ... Along with the ambition to replicate hamburgers comes a comparable amount of saturated fat. Since diets higher in saturated fat are associated with increased rates of both heart disease and premature death, they may not be the type to opt for if your ambitions are purely health-related. They are also a significant source of sodium, particularly for those on salt-restricted diets. The bottom line: Meatless burgers are good for the planet, but not always good for our health If you love the taste of a burger, but find the sustainability of raising cattle hard to stomach, beefless alternatives that mimic the real thing are worth a try. Producing the newer, plant-based burgers requires considerably less water and generates substantially less greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional beef burgers. This is certainly an important consideration for the well-being of our planet, but they may not be the best option for the health of our bodies." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
