Ok so the framing of this has puzzled me all day (and CNN just push alerted it which is why it's lack on my brain): Are there SO MANY people out there who are eating meatless burgers because they think they're healthier? So many that this is the default assumption?https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1159763457585143813 …

(I eat them because they are not meat! And that's enough for me! I don't think I'm sneakily being a healthy person all of a sudden, what with the cheese and the brioche bun that surrounds my meatless burger.)

Anyway it felt like this framing came out of the same sort of logic that equates vegetarians or vegans with automatically being "healthier," which means the beholder has never been to a vegan diner or thought much about them.

Ha. As a vegan baker, I’m well aware it’s often not healthier but it’s still my sales pitch “it’s vegan so it’s healthy”
