The Plant-Based Meat Illusion

Plant-based burgers are sold as the future of health and sustainability. But nutritionally? They’re not the miracle people think. Many are highly processed, packed with refined oils, stabilizers, and sodium. A plant-based burger can have more salt and saturated fat than a beef patty. And the “protein”? Often from pea protein isolates—stripped of fiber and nutrients. It’s closer to lab food than real plants. So sure, it might help the planet. But if you’re eating it thinking it’s healthier for you? That’s where the illusion cracks. #FoodLies #PlantBasedTruth #BodyHacks
