If it actually is "green", maybe. But a lot of it is just pretend.
Well yes true there are phonies in all business areas; snake oil salesman since the dawn of man!

It is reasonable to take precautions to stop it, but quite revolting to turn it into a money making scam like so many charities, and to browbeat people with your eco holiness.
Anybody who thinks we "need" to be vegan and consume chemical laden nutrient deficient fake meat is a gullible fool.
Eat it if you enjoy it, but be aware that when they say it is "plant based" they mean processing plants, and all for the benefit of just a few rich people.
I remember when acid rain was going to destroy everything even crops in the 1980's. I am still waiting for it.
