  1. “is it safe ? Maybe…” Can we be just a bit less dramatic ? The state in the art in food is the very popular “is he dead yet ?” 24 hour test. That about all we know about most of our food.

  2. The point of plant-based burgers is not to be healthier but to support more environmentally sustainable food. Jeez!

  3. The gold standard diets are the Japanese and Mediterranean diets. They are healthy and meat is consumed in moderation. These diets are also sustainable and you don’t subject yourself to highly processed fake meat

    1. No, both are notoriously high meat consumption. The real Mediterranean diet has meat or seafood in everything. Japan is one of the highest per capita meat consumption in the world. Don’t believe Monsanto hype.

    2. Sarah Denison According to the OECD Japan is not one of the ten highest in terms of per capita meat consumption. Your opinions of their diets may have been for ed by what’s served in Japanese and middle-Eastern restaurants in the west. My opinions aren’t influenced by Monsanto lol

  4. So many errors in this story. Saturated fat is not a problem, plants are the least healthy and full of toxins and glyphosate, just to begin with
