    Who is this for?

    People who want to be vegetarian/vegan, but not give up on the taste and feel of meat products entirely. That is a lot of people.

    Also, the whole “processed” thing is a bit overblown. Meat replacements are in large parts healthier than your typical highly processed foods.

      No it isn’t. Processed food is the worst thing you can eat hands down, extremely bad for you and hard to digest for your body.

      Do you perhaps have a link to a study that says that converting peas into impossible burger yields food healthier than actual meat patty?

      Because all I can find says otherwise.

      Heck, there was even a SouthPark episode about it.

        That is not what I claimed. My claim was merely that not all processed foods are equally unhealthy, as it depends a lot on the actual ingredients and additives, and meat replacements are often on the healthier side of that.
