Fast forward to 2020 and all the big fast-food chains are experimenting with fake meat. Burger King’s meat-free Rebel Whopper is already on sale across Europe and the UK, and McDonald’s PLT (plant, lettuce and tomato) burger will follow. Meat substitutes aren’t new, they’ve been around for centuries. However, plant-based burgers aren’t necessarily natural and healthy alternatives. And while eating a lot of meat can be bad for your health, plant-based burgers may not be much better for you as they can contain more salt than meat burgers.
