Who is this for?
People who want to be vegetarian/vegan, but not give up on the taste and feel of meat products entirely. That is a lot of people.
Also, the whole “processed” thing is a bit overblown. Meat replacements are in large parts healthier than your typical highly processed foods.

Do you perhaps have a link to a study that says that converting peas into impossible burger yields food healthier than actual meat patty?
Because all I can find says otherwise.
Heck, there was even a SouthPark episode about it.

That is not what I claimed. My claim was merely that not all processed foods are equally unhealthy, as it depends a lot on the actual ingredients and additives, and meat replacements are often on the healthier side of that.
Meat replacements are in large parts healthier than your typical highly processed foods. While that may be true, are they healthier than regular meat?
To reduce the environmental impact of our diet, our family cut down; a few years back; from meat with every evening meal, to meat 3 nights a week. It didn’t take long to get used to the change, and out diet probably became healthier for it.
We are lucky, in that we have the time to prepare most foods from scratch. There is very little ultraprocessed food in out diet. These meat alternatives give me pause, I like the idea of plant based meat alternatives, but the amount of processing to generate the product is concerning.
