The backlash against meatless burgers has less to do with perceived over processed-ness and more to do with their now wide scale availability which is a shame because they taste delicious and produce far less CO2 in their production https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/10/7/20880318/meatless-meat-mainstream-backlash-impossible-burger
