We've been eating plant-based meats at home for a while now, but I'm contemplating going back to meats after reading various packaging. I'm seeing a lot of food additives which I don't want my kids to take in. I'm all up for plant-based foods, but it should be healthier than the meat alternative.

Have you considered making some basic meat substitutes at home? We make Seitan a lot, and you can do a lot of cool stuff with Tofu. You can also make stuff like falafel or bean patties/meatballs.

I'd recommend checking out Miyoko's recipe for stuff like unribs, if you want some fancier Seitan-based recipes.
