Veggie Burgers maybe a good choice, Between outbreaks of sickening beef, the staggering environmental impact of meat production, the link between red meat and cancer, the cruelty inherent in factory farming, and a general love of animals. I won’t miss a messy, meaty burger–but there is the BBQ ritual and all the fixings that make having some great meatless facsimiles kind of nice.
I have never been a fan of any supermarket veggie burgers out there–they all seem a bit anemic and lacking in personality to me although if you have a favorite brand, tell us in the comments–I’ve love for someone to change my mind! Making them at home is a great and surprisingly simple option, and this way you can skip the methylcellulose, disodium inosinate, and other mysterious ingredients that may be lurking in your commercial veggie burgers.
