    The reporter observed that many fast food chains in the market have launched plant-based meat packages.


    At present, vegetable meat on the market is mainly made of vegetable protein extracted from soybeans, peas, wheat and other crops


    Scientific research has shown that ultra-processed foods increase the risk of death and cardiovascular disease, with those who ate more than four servings of processed foods a day increasing the risk of premature death by 62%


    "Various vegetable oils are prone to produce trans fats during processing.


    Plant-based meat is not comparable to traditional meat


    Compared with animal meat, plant meat lacks trace elements such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids


    During the interview, the reporter found that many takeaway merchants promote light food products from the perspective of "reducing the burden on health and practicing vegetarianism", and to a certain extent, light food and vegetarian food are confused with each other


    In fact, light food and vegetarian food should not be equated
