Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Delicious sodium
I can't imagine the levels of inorganic chemistry required to make pretend chicken. Read the labels on this shit.
It'll taste even better knowing that it's a triumph of knowledge over nature.
This is why I don't eat Beyond Meat and Impossible burgers.. they're likely even worse for you than what they're purporting to be the healthy alternative to
Can you give any reason why you believe they are likely worse for you outside of nature=good manmade=bad?
The massive amounts of sodium they add, along with all the other additives to try to make it taste and feel like eating meat
Is that not a good enough reason?
It's a ridiculous reason, and one founded on romanticist views of an idealised nature that does not exist.
only if you accept the same reasoning for medicine
Medicine isn't good for you its just usually better than the alternative.
Natural isn't better than man made but you have evolved along with shit that's in nature to consume I think that's why the more refined a thing is the more dangerous it is to consume
Medicine is scientifically proven to improve health. Fake food is designed to improve profits.
unfalsifiable nonsense. I refuse to argue over “things I like are good, things I dislike are bad” semantic bullshit. if you think medicine of all things isn’t made for profit, I have a series of landmarks to sell you
Medicine has existed outside of a profit motive for millennia. Even animals self medicate.
I'm sure some marketing suggests these things are healthier, but they're really just an animal-cruelty free alternative.
This is like when coworkers ask if a vegan is vegan for health reasons. I'm sure as hell not, I eat like shit lmao. Just no animal products.
