TELL a vegan that your sausage is healthier than theirs, and they’ll think you’re out of order.

People who ate fake sausages, burgers and minced meat apparently had worse blood pressure than those who ate the real thing, said a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
This week, actor Martin Freeman, 52, revealed he has turned his back on vegetarianism after almost four decades due to meat models being “very, very processed”.

STEAK STRIPS
The plant-based Squeaky Bean offering has almost double the fat and salt content.
CHICKEN BREAST

MEAT CRUSHING
Low-fat mince can have three times less fat and up to six and a half times less salt.
Now you can get a brunch of bottomless pigs in duvets — and it’s vegan!
BACON RASHERS
Bacon lovers fear not, their crispy slices have three times less fat than La Vie’s plant-based faux.
