Animal products are not processed the same way vegan food is, are you kidding me?! I can make burger with a cow/goat I raised on grass, kill the animal, butcher it, and grind up the trimming. I can even imagine doing this without any petroleum or electricity. Just a rope, knife, and a hand crank meat grinder. Maybe a few good buddies if it's a large animal.

I cannot, for the life of me, imagine making a beyond burger or even mock butter from plants I grow myself.

You don't need a blender to make cows milk. You just need a cow who has given birth, hands and a bucket.

I mean jesus I don't even know if I could make non cold pressed plant oils without a factory.

Ok then, tell me what does processed mean? Is a meat grinder more processed than whatever the fuck happens to these plants?

Like, I can raise a cow, feed it pasture in the summer, hay and sticks, and other edible winter forage in the winter, kill it, butcher it, put the scrap meat in a meat grinder, and have hamburger. I can even do this all without electricity or petroleum if I have a cellar cool enough and a couple swole buddies.

I cannot for the life of me create impossible or beyond burgers without a laboratory and a factory.

So... what does processed mean?
