So i actually know the answer to this question
So i'm not not going to say otherwise it will spoil it for our listeners
Okay
Well we all find out at the end of the program
Although most research agrees that plant based foods are healthy er the meat
It's also true
That meat free products are processed to make trat free sausages for example
After the proteins are broken down
Flavorings and colorers are meat to memefree free taste or texture of meat corn
One of the best wn brands of meet free products uses michao protein aa unggy based protein similar to the fungi used in the fermentation of yogurt and bread
So what does listen to gragrame think let's out out is he talks to greg ft t presenter of bbc radio force slice spread
Grame listening to all this
You know normally a fan of a mesasasasage plplant based et alutative sausage curcurous is oay most lod today
What do you think about hearing about the sources of where they come from what's your gut reaction to hearing the corn comes from a funs have no problems
It's just another other fmed of protein smmilar as i'm concern
And what's the healthiest
Yes we will get to health
And that's the big healsation for today you're g ask gram for his gut reaction
Here's gut reaction is your opinion based on your initial feeling or instinct about something it can't be explained
Logically
Actually
Graham doesn't mind that his sausage protein is a fungus
As long as it's healthy as uas phphase as far as i am concerned to indicate that he is giving his own opinion on the subject
Of course healthy eating is important
But there are other factors influencing
Whether meat losasage program could be persuaded infplant based alinnatives
These include things like the taste
Color and texture of the sausage
In other words
Whether a plant based sausage looks and feels like real meat
Here's greg disgran using this point for baby radio four program sliced read it's interesting isn't
It because my mom is a long time veggy
And we were talking about this
And she says i don't want my you know alternative proteins to resemble meat as one of the reasons
She says she doesn't eat meat
But you gram
You said you do want yeah plant by sautage to resemble a port sasage
Yeah i ve always been being the meteeter
But i do need a plant based product to be similar in terms of flavor texture and appearance
嗯
Graham wants his plant based sausages to resemble meaning look similar to meet
But that's not the case for greg's mum who's a long time veggy
A vegegy is slang g for a vegetarian
A person who doesn't eat meat
Now the adjective a long time describe someone who has been or done a particular thing for many years

Basbason on instctive feeling not logic or reason
The phrase as far as i'm concerned
Can be used to give your opinion about something to resemble means to look or be similar to something
