I always assumed fast food was unhealthy and full of artificial ingredients, even real patties can have negative health effects. I would not consider those meat replacements to be healthy but they surely are good enough to replace fast food patties.

Also I re-read his tweets and I can't find the part where it's clearly stated that transfat are used, I just see oil being mentioned in those ingredient lists.

I don't think he's saying Beyond Burgers contain trans fats. I think he's saying Beyond Meats are doing the same thing Crisco etc did when they marketed hydrogenated vegetable oils as a replacement for animal fats. It seems like a valid comparison.
