Alternative vegetable based “meats” have a huge amount of preservatives, emulsifiers, binders, and other nasty chemicals. Artificial meat is literally cancer enduced muscle cells grown in a vat of antibiotics.
If you don’t want meat or feel morally bound to not consume meat, just be a vegetarian or vegan. The “alternatives” are disgusting.
