[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--this has got me thinking. I don't eat a ton of processed foods other than the BB and you're right--I didn't think of it as frankenfood but now that I'm reading the comments, I agree it is ultra processed and disguised as a veggie burger without the veggie part so probably better to sautee up some fish or make salmon cakes (which I do make from time to time). I'm going to give the BB a break. [/quote]

Okay, BBs are processed, but they are not frankenfoods. They are made of mung and some other beans, coconut oil, peas, potato starch, beet juice, and brown rice. Yes..processed, but not chemicals or unpronounceable, unrecognizable ingredients. For me, I would limit them because they are pretty high in sodium and coconut oil is not my fave.

But they are "frankenfoods" only in that they figured out how to take plants and make them into something resembling meat.

Taste wise, I much prefer Impossible, but they are soy and some odder ingredients and closer to the notion of a frankenfood. But I do eat them on occasion because they are tasty.

So yeah, treat yourself to Beyond Burgers, but watch your sodium and sat fat (the coconut oil) in other foods on days you eat them.[/quote]
