It's important to note that not all vegan alternatives are created equal when it comes to nutrition. Be sure to read labels and choose products that are fortified with nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. Additionally, some meat alternatives may be high in sodium or processed ingredients, so it's important to read the ingredient label to make sure the product is made with real plant based food.
