It would be better for you and cheaper to just eat the peas.

Not sure of the ingredients of that kebab thing but I presume it will be something similar to a plant based sausage which has the following listed ingredients.

Ingredients: Rehydrated textured soya protein, water, soya protein concentrate, palm oil, seasoning (sulphites, dextrose, salt, flavourings, onion powder, yeast extract, colour, red iron oxide) , rapeseed oil, rusk (fortified wheat flour, wheat flour, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin), salt, raising agent, ammonium bicarbonate, stabilizer: methyl cellulose, tomato puree, salt.

You are right Balkan. See below. I'm somewhere between the 2.
But, like Den, I too would try that as a bit of 'junk' veggie food.
At least no fellow animal needlessly slaughtered.
Before I knew better, I used to love a kebab, with full mashings, on my way home from the pub a few decades ago. I can remember when they first appeared round here. First one I ever had was on holiday in Bournemouth, before they appeared up this way.

The bottom line is, there's more profit in a nicely packaged plant based pie, kebab, sausage, turkey and the likes than a piece of fruit or veg.

yummy

To be honest I don't eat much 'fake' meat, but it's ok every now and again

By the way that's a ****ty sounding ingredients list so not sure what company that is. Some much better stuff than that, with no palm oil, out there

Huh?
I was only saying that recipe was Tesco sausages
I don’t shop at Tesco’s, I just googled the ingredients list you posted and that was what came up first (Lynda McCartney sausages but on their website)
I agree though
If you eat meat get it from your local butcher if you can, and whether you do or not then try and get your veg from your local greengrocer when you can.

…better to not eat meat at all though ;)

But is it a struggle getting enough iron?

No there's plenty of iron in vegetables, nuts and seeds etc.

The only thing I do take is vitamin B12 because that only exists in quantity in meat...but even though it is in meat it isn't easily taken into the body so even carnivores would do well to take B12 from what I've read.

Gamechangers on Netflix is an interesting watch on things like that (at least it was on there when I saw it)
