Highly processed foods are actually quite bad for human nutrition, the more processed they are the worst. That’s not specifically a problem for meat substitutes, though I expect that when you’re trying to make plants taste and feel like meat there’s a lot of processing involved as well as a lot of funnily named additives which might or not fall into to the “possibly carcinogenic” category. Maybe that’s were the previous poster is coming from: best just eat good vegetarian food that’s enjoyable on its own merits than go for highly processed food loaded with additives to try and emulate meat’s flavor profile and texture.
