Are these really considered healthy? I always looked at them as being competitors to regular meat, sans the suffering and environmental impact. If they do that, without being more unhealthy than regular meat, then I don't see the problem - so how do they compare to regular meat?

Based on the ingredient list they are not healthy eaten in large amounts, for an occasional treat why not.

The science seems to point to whole plant foods as being the way to go in terms of optimal health, and this is highly processed food.

It sure helps to reduce the environmental impact of meat, so I'm all for them as long as people are well aware that they are not healthy.
