No,” says Singer, author of the food-focused memoir Always Too Much and Never Enough, with her next book, a vegan lifestyle guide, forthcoming. “They’re healthier than their animal-based counterpart, absolutely… But when we’re looking at health, we also need to measure it from a more holistic perspective; destruction of the environment is obviously bad for our health, and let’s not even get started on the animals’ health.
Still, Ginny Kisch Messina, a registered dietician known as the “Vegan RD” and author of books including Vegan for Life, tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “Creating a food from a long list of ingredients doesn’t automatically make it unhealthy. It depends on what the ingredients are. In fact, the plant-based burgers may have some slight advantages over beef.
