Plant Based Meat is what it sounds like. It is made up of plants, soy, or wheat. It’s not real meat. It’s “meat” for the vegetarian. Plant based meat diets can also be vegan. Veganism is the same as being vegetarian. Vegans usually eat plant based meat. The “ Hot Dog” they are going to eat is not the same as our hot dog. The hot dog will be a veggie dog that would be genetically produced to imitate the real hot dog. It can be made up of beans, wheat, even plants. There are many different companies that are now starting to produce vegan or plant based meats. Some of the top companies right now are Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Other companies like Tyson Foods are starting to participate in this new demand and will be launching a company called “ Raised & Rooted.”
There are many advantages of eating plant based meat. It is said to be healthier and a great alternative to eating actual meat. Some of the advantages of eating plant based meat or vegan food are Improved heart health, Reduces risk of cancer, Reduces risk of diabetes, Lowers body mass index, and Variety of foods. All the advantages correlate with one another. “A plant-based diet—in particular, one focused on whole, unprocessed foods—offers many health benefits, including improved heart health and decreased risks of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.Many people following this way of eating report more energy, fewer aches and pains, and an overall sense of well-being.Research shows that following a WFPB diet can be an effective weight-loss strategy.”
