If you must avoid meat, it’s better just to eat the foods in a less processed form. These fake foods are really dangerous. There is not real long term studies on their effects.

I make my own bean burgers at home - very simple ones, yet delicious. Here is my basic recipe:
Into a blender:
After blending, mix in 100 g of fine bread crumbs. Mix around until the mass is solid enough to make patties.
Make the patties (about 4 to 6 depending on size) and fry them in a pan with a bit of olive oil for a few minutes. Assemble your bean burgers with the toppings you like.

Yeah that is the way to do it. Some of the fake meat they sell are made with super highly processed pea proteins + highly processed toxic seed oils backed by big companies who don’t have anyone’s best interest at heart.
If you make it yourself you should mostly be fine. I would replace the olive oil with coconut oil if it were me and I didn’t press the olives myself. Olive oil has a bad history of being contaminated with cheap oxidized seed oils.
Thanks! I hope that the food safety guys at the Netherlands have good checks for that, but I will use coconut oil next time because that does sound more delicious!
