Not really. It's customary to summarize the gist of the video or article. This will determine if I want more details. I'm not inclined to waste time on information overload just because you're unable to give us a quick summary.
Note, that poster is NOT the one who started the thread. He should not have had to summarize the video for you or anyone else.
And honestly, I'd agree with your larger point about summarizing the video IF it were some long, convoluted video, as way too many posters start a thread with a link to an hour-long video and NO comment at all. But even I had time to watch the 5-MINUTE video that the OP posted.

Well, you made it very clear that you didn't watch the 5-MINUTE video by what you wrote. It is NOT anti-vegetarian or anti-vegan. If you want a video that discusses how "disgusting" so-called "fake meat" is, then find one yourself and post it (with a summary, of course) -- but not in this particular subforum, as that would be incredibly rude. And I say that as a meat-eater.
The anti-vegans will sure to find a way to nitpick and analyze this study for any and all faults, and continue to believe that animal meat is still much 'healthier' than plant based meat alternatives.
Could you give me the main points? I don't really care to spend time watching. I am, however, interested in the case to stop eating meat as it is something I am considering.
I have learned to ignore such meat industry generated hysteria. It's so predictable.Idon't evencare tohear what they have to say.
Meat substitutes can be a wholesome and delicious addition toa meat-free diet. Should it be the center of one's diet. NO. Every meal should have more green vegetables than protein or carbohydrates.
Should they be eaten every day of the week? Probably not.
Still, it's a clean, healthy and nutritious food.
Their scare tactics are nothing short of pathetic. Fewer and fewer people are choosing meat at their source of protein. Those are the facts.
i enjoy some of the plant based items. here lately i've been getting a little grossed out by meat and it's by products.
Just because something is not as bad as meat doesn't make it good. I prefer food that comes from earth that nourishes, not food invented by a lab worker that comes from a factory and is created based on a profit-driven model.
You have to add vegetables to burgers, regardless of whether they're meat or meatless. There is very little fiber in either. Chopped cabbage and slice tomatoes would help with fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K.
Beyond Meat may not be the healthiest, but it is healthier than some of the other stuff that people are eating. There was another thread on this topic some years ago, and I talked about how some of the comparisons are skewed and unfair. I'll see if I can dig it up!
Grossed out was how it began for me. Then I looked into Factory Farms and slaughter.
FACT - those who eat these do not eat them three meals a day, seven days a week. Meat eaters who want to be healthy are advised to use meat sparingly.
I eat it sparingly, it's satisfying and clean, and I know that no animal was murdered after living a short and horrible life full of pain and fear.
Mostly I eat pastas and veggies and meatless pizzas. I eat a little chicken and a little hamburger but hardly at all anymore.
