I’m vegan and I am so sick of this argument. Who’s eating burgers to be healthy? The last thing I’m thinking about when buying Beyond burgers is health. 😂
And still, if you are so inclined, you can buy healthier similar products or make them from scratch with simpler ingredients like TVP, pulses and gluten flour.
Burgers can be healthy, it’s just meat and salad on a bun. What’s unhealthy about a burger, you can make them easily at home using ground beef, or ground lentils
But using it as a reason to be against veggie burgers is lame. You never hear “I’m in the mood for something healthy, maybe I’ll make hamburgers.” Honestly, who cares? You don’t see people doing this with ice cream or chocolate because we already know it’s unhealthy, but for some reason it’s super necessary to diss veggie burgers because they’re unhealthy.
Processed patties are unhealthy though, regardless of being vegetarian, vegan or omni. You’re better off making patties from scratch, and you can have a healthy burger. People associate burgers with being unhealthy or junk because burgers are staples in fast food chains. But burgers made from scratch are not unhealthy lol. Yeah, eating too much red meat can be an issue, but minced chicken or chickpea burgers with patties made at home? You can have those daily if the calories match your macros and TDEE
I’m not talking about whether whatever specific one you conjure up is healthy or unhealthy, I’m talking about people who diss vegan/vegetarian ones right off the bat as if “normal” burgers are (generally) healthy.
(It gets even more stupid, most people that do this have no problem plowing through a Triple Whopper every other day.)

You’re totally missing the point.
