Out of the 18 ingredients on Beyond's website, some are familiar, like brown rice and salt. Others, like methylcellulose, are a little less so.

TLDR: lots of salt and artificial flavourings. But a lot of interesting chemistry goes into it too. There are annealing steps, and many other processes I don’t understand.

    It’s the USA, generally not considered deprived, where meat is likely to be tainted with growth hormones, chlorine, antibiotics, as byproducts of food being treated as a commodity to be made as cheaply as possible.

      That’s what I’m saying. Lack of access to a basic quality of food sounds like deprivation to me.

      But this is already off topic.
