It's not that peas are inherently bad. It's just not desirable to be using things such as pea protein, multiple pea ingredients (i.e.
ingredient splitting). Nothing wrong with 'peas' themselves. It's just when one food uses 'pea protein' 'peas' and 'pea fiber' all within the first 10 ingredients, I wonder how much is coming from meat. 'Pea protein' is just a nicer, prettier way of putting 'corn gluten meal' basically. It does the same thing -- ups the protein, and is essentially a filler.
When you have four or five different legumes and veggies and plant proteins up so high on the ingredient list, you know a lot of protein is coming from them.
