The average UK teen gets two-thirds of their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), this is not a vegan issue.
This new FAO report, supporting meat and dairy, does not fit with the scientific consensus and should be disregarded.
While no one is pretending vegan sausages and burgers are a health food, we should remember the detrimental health effects of meaty junk foods, which far outweigh those of their plant-based versions.
There are more mock meat varieties coming on to the market than we can keep count of so how do you choose what to buy and what to give a miss?
