    My first comment was about skipping processed foods, as those should not even be considered a part of any diet, instead opting for cooking and thus having a healthy diet, with this being more relevant for people trying to have or already having meat exempt diets, while the focus on the posted content was how plant based “meat” is less impactful and by default good.

    In a cruder, more tongue-in-cheek fashion:

    Look everyone, now you can pretend you are having meat when not having meat while liying with all your teeth to yourself you actually changed to a better diet.

    Plant based “meat” is a marketing gimmick, not the deep cultural and ethical change it tries to sell itself as.

    I don’t say in any of my comments what my diet is or is not. What I do is ask, in a hypothetical fashion, if opting for a diet with no meat and only based in plant staples, with no processed foods in it, would I not have a less impactful diet, to which you responded by asking if I also intend to grow my own food, as if not, I wouldn’t be making any change at all.

    Am I being capable of following the thread of this conversation?

    Because I am aware what the focus of the post is, I only lack the will to applaude it as an advance.
