Whole Foods CEO John Mackey: Plant-Based Meat Products Aren't Healthy

In Western countries we probably consume too much meat and animal products in general. But that does not mean we should 'ban' animal products and go vegan.
To me it seems more reasonable, easier for people, and healthy to simply reduce: Don't eat meat every day/every meal.
Same goes for e.g. milk. I'm especially not convinced that having almond milk shipped all the way across the world from California (which suffers from water shortages) is better from the environment than simply drinking less milk, but local milk.
Burgers can be as healthy or unhealthy as you made them.
To me "plant-based meats" are a hype but it's not clear how environmentally-friendly, ethical, or healthy they are.
The high glycemic index, sugar-added bun above and below the ground beef... well... that’s a different story
