This is what I've been wondering about. I don't eat much meat, but when I do, I want real meat. And when I eat beans or quinoa or lentils...I want them to be real beans or quinoa or lentils.
I eat unprocessed meat and I feel it is healthier that processed soy. I've already posted here on the research on soy and this latest processed frankenfood.
Because i have post infectious irritable bowel syndrome, I can't eat beans, quinoa or lentils without being in a world of pain. And I agree with you. If I could eat them,I'd want the real McCoy,not processed, plasticized glop that has Round Up and who knows what else in it.Fake food is fake food and this is as fake as it gets.
I don't buy it that red meat or saturated fat is unhealthy. Now processed anything is bad,and the more it's processed,the worse it is for us. And that means most of the boxed/frozen,"convenience foods" in the grocery stores...And of course fake meat.
What is ignored in these studies is the elephant in the room,which is in fact,processed food of all kinds and the true culprit,which is SUGAR. These are always observational studies,which are notoriously sloppy.
