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

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 📖 further reading: 🌍 climate impact of meat vs vegan diets: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-... 🚫 factory farming & misleading ads: https://adfreecities.org.uk/wp-conten... 💬 do you eat fake meat? would you swap it in more? let’s chat in the comments! -- weekly newsletter: https://veganbeautygirl.substack.com/ follow me on... insta: www.instagram.com/veganbeautygirl tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@veganbeautygirl wanna work together? email: [email protected]
