Vegans don’t just eat ‘chemicals’

As a proud vegan and healthy food advocate, I can confirm meat alternatives aren’t just a “big chemical storm”.

Sunshine Coast-based Fable Foods now sells its mushroom-based meat alternative at Woolworths, and it’s completely natural and absolutely delicious.

OPINION:

AS A proud vegan and healthy food advocate, I can confirm meat alternatives aren’t just a “big chemical storm”.

That’s how Sunshine Coast nutritionist and Changing Habits owner Cyndi O’Meara described vegan alternatives on the Daily ’s website yesterday.

The wholefood advocate slammed vegan products, saying there were limited studies done on the use of multiple food additives.

MUSHROOM MEAT ALTERNATIVE FLIES OFF THE SHELVES

I respect Ms O’Meara’s passion for health, and don’t doubt there’s a multitude of unhealthy products on the market that shouldn’t be considered a protein replacement.

But that shouldn’t put people off a plant-based diet.

I haven’t had a bite of meat in more than five years and I’m healthier than ever.

These packaged, processed meat alternatives might be tasty but they aren’t all a vegan or vegetarian eats.

There are so many healthy, wholefoods filled with more than enough protein and iron to suit a plant-base diet.

And the good news is businesses are releasing all-natural meat alternatives that aren’t filled with chemicals.

Coast-based Fable Foods now sells delicious mushroom-based meat at Woolworths, and I can confirm it’s delicious.

There’s never been a better time to be vegan, just stay away from processed crap.
