> Meatless burgers are heavily processed and high in saturated fat

That just means it’s “keto friendly”. The same way my generation (millennials) like to make fun of boomers for being fat phobic, someday our kids will make fun of us for unwittingly clogging our arteries.



That’s not what keto friendly means. Leto friendly means low carb, independent of saturated fat. So both broccoli and bacon are kept friendly.

Beyond burgers have 5g net carbs [0] for a quarter pound patty. So not the worst, carb wise but way less Leto friendly than a 0g beef patty.

Don't forget the heme. It has the heme, and 40 other things self certified as safe.
