Is veggie meat a health food or not?
whats it made of? are these kind of foods highly processed ?
Answers:
Being a former chef and using alot of them in my diet, I also used TVP a byproduct of the tofu making process, anything in excess it not good, as far as to label them as health foods, not really they are meat substitutes or replacements.
Burgers, veggie bacon, slice meat products, hot dogs or ground meat like products, they are not as highly processed as the people here have made them out to be. Theonly thing is some are high in fat and salt, the evils of soya proteins.
I make my own veggie burger, with a ixture of fresh veg, sautes then chopped in my food processor, add TVP, chickpea flour and seasonings and I cooked them in a non stick pan with only a spritz of oil.
The best thing is read the labels, and make your deicsions based on the products themsleves, find some things you like and try your hand at making them see if you can improve on the product your self.
