Vegan Nutrition Q&A: Plant Burgers

Vegan Nutrition Q&A: Plant Burgers
Heather Nicholds, C.H.N.

There’s a tidal wave of interest in plant-sourced burgers that are so close to beef burgers omnivores can’t tell the difference.

Since I get asked about them all the time in my day to day life, I wanted to share some thoughts, from my various perspectives as a vegan, an environmentalist, and a holistic nutritionist.

What do you think? Have you tried one or all of these burgers? Let me know your thoughts below!
