in defence of 'fake meat' 🌭 | vegan what i eat in a week :)

Описание: vegan meat gets so much bad press—too processed, too unhealthy, no place in a “good” diet. but let’s be real: not all UPFs are the same, and fake meat has a huge role to play in making plant-based eating accessible, nutritious & sustainable.

🌱 why fake meat isn’t the villain:

helps recreate meals we love = easier swaps
protein-packed & often healthier than meat
way better for the planet (beef vs tofu? no contest)
factory farming is the real issue—95% of UK chickens & 3/4 of farmed animals are factory-farmed
🍽️ this week’s meals:
✅ vegan sausage pasta bake (yes, they’re UPFs—but so are regular sausages!)
✅ chickpea pancake w/ salad & vegan cheese
✅ butter bean & artichoke pesto pasta
