If you’re not eating a processed plant based meat, so like just having tofu or seitan, you’re better off. But the processed patties are not great like any other processed or deli foods
This is something I can’t get my head around… why is fat bad? Why is saturated fat bad? I mean chemically - like trans-fats are totally bad for you because they molecularly bind to nasty stuff that makes you sick, and cholesterol appears “big” and “small”, where the “big” is the good cholesterol.
But less fat in regular products generally means that they added stuff nobody needs, like sugar and ingredients with more syllables than Indians have names.
What do you base that on?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9235150/ This study shows meat replacements have less fat and saturated fat and when the meat is salted it is almost always more salty than the replacement.

There’s also this new study, but don’t know if there were any conflict of interest shenanigans https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-a-study-on-ultraprocessed-fake-meat-and-heart-disease-really-found/
