We obviously don't need to eat 3D meat or other processed foods. Obviously you can be a vegan or omnivore and consume chips, French fries, and candy, but this isn't healthy. It is best to eat whole grains, beans/legumes, fruits/veggies and nuts/oils. With that said, we do have a lot of people eating processed foods far from the whole foods they once were, so I don't see why someone would have a preference, for instance, for a hamburger or sausage over a vegan alternative. I actually prefer the Beyond Meat vegan sausage and meatballs because it tastes good and is almost the same in taste and texture, but it also is easier on my digestive system than the meat.
If you notice the labels they are very similar. The Beyond meat does provide 20 more grams per serving, which is 36% more grams, so we would need to multiply all the values on the Johnsonville sausages by 36% to normalize things: 231 calories, 18g fat, 6g sat fat, 54mg cholesterol, 612mg sodium, 1.36g carbs, 13.6g protein. Interestingly, the Beyond Meat sausage has more protein, but not surprisingly, it has less calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium per gram.
