    They have more protein, fiber, and iron than beef.

    Red meat consumption has been shown to increase risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, full stop.

    I don’t know what a “health food” would be, but I would probably classify them as foods that are healthier alternatives to foods that are proven bad for your health. Which is what “Impossible” etc. are.

      Health food is anything that isn’t processed to hell and back.

      Impossible is just alternative junk food. Like vapes are for cigarettes. Healthier still means crap. I’d probably just use mushrooms or tofu as a patty if I wanted an alternative to beef.
