Do you love hamburgers?n
n
n
nMany folks do, and a charbroiled beef patty can be delicious in a well appointed burger! BUT –
n
n
n
nVeggie burgers can be yummy, too!
n
n
n
nOne veggie patty is not like another!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nI’ve had some veggie burgers that were just not as tasty as regular-old beef burgers.
n
n
n
n
n
nOn the other hand, I’ve had some veggie burgers that were super scrumdiddlyumptious!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nVeggie burgers aren’t all made of the same stuff, and they don’t all taste the same – that’s for sure!
n
n
n
nVeggie burgers are always plant-based (sometimes plant-and-fungus-based) rather than animal-based. They have one or more of these ingredients: beans, including soybeans and black beans; grains, including couscous; nuts and seeds, including quinoa; vegetables such as sweet potatoes, cauliflower, corn, carrots; fungus, including mushrooms and mycoprotein.

| You can see that these sweet-potato/quinoa veggie patties DO have animal proteins, in the form of eggs. But there is no beef or any other meat. n nMany veggie burgers don’t have any animal products. |
n
nMany veggie burgers really are tasty and have wonderful textures as well. And, let’s face it, once you’ve got the entire rest of the burger…

n
n…Maybe the patty isn’t the most crucial part?
n
n
n
nWhy eat veggie burgers?
n
n
n
n
n
nYou may have heard about this little thing called climate change. One thing we can all do to help is to eat less beef – because cows belch carbon monoxide, which is a greenhouse gas. That doesn’t mean that you and me should never, ever eat beef again – but maybe beef could be a super special treat, like steak; when we are eating something with a bun and bunches of condiments and toppings, a great tasting veggie patty does just fine.
n
n
nIf everyone who eats beef cuts back from eating it once a day to eating it once a month, we will need only 1/30th the number of cows!
