Of course — all food has good and bad qualities, the question here is really: Is it unhealthier than a beef burger? With all other qualities being equal or better?

For example: Coconut oil may have the highest % of saturated fat, but that data point isn't relevant unless we know how much they put in each impossible burger, and compare that to the amount of fat in ground beef. I.e. despite that percentage, _per burger_ a beef burger might still give you more saturated fat.

The same goes for the concern about heme.
