Ultra processed foods are tied with a myriad of health conditions.

Please tell the British Heart Foundation that they're "the crazy kind of health conscious" :-)

From your source:

> Ultra-processed foods: Ultra-processed foods typically have more than 1 ingredient that you never or rarely find in a kitchen. They also tend to include many additives and ingredients that are not typically used in home cooking, such as preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners, and artificial colours and flavours. These foods generally have a long shelf life.

Are there ingredients actually in the Beyond burger?

    Since when? Salt is a highly effective preservative, egg yolk is a powerful emulsifier, and they're largely used for those exact purposes.

    The amount of bullshit in "healthy eating" and fitness fad space never ceases to amaze me.

LOL @ the downvotes. I'm sure that's why Americans are so healthy, with huge supermarkets stocked to the brim with food so ultraprocessed that there are things that pretend to be called "cheese" but can't be sold as cheese.
