> From an athletic or 'health' perspective, [...] You can get 93+% lean beef with 3-4 grams of fat per 20~ grams of protein

Well, from a health perspective, what you really want as your main drive is high, low omega 6 vs omega 3, high quality fat, relatively low protein and the least carb you can do. Carb is not evil per se, a carb+protein based is, it leads to type 2 diabetes, and pave the way to cancer and cognitive dysfunctions, the key thing in those disease being recurrent and close insulin spikes.

A beef with <5% of fat is a nutritional non-sense, this whole 'eat the least fat possible' fable needs to die.

But otherwise I agree with you: plant-based meat-like patty is the worst you can eat (referring to their current recipes that are loaded with omega 6).
