I think too many vegan burgers are made out of soy and contain too many foreign ingredients. It's all good though, everything is better than eating meat - but I think the movement of the vegan burgers also needs to go towards more natural ingredients in the long term. Great article btw, very thoroughly work! Keep it up!

Completely agree! I think the burgers are a beautiful idea to help people transition. But, probably not the best for long term replacements. Until they up their ingredient game. I have seen a few whole-plant based burgers before. I think @heart-to-heart has even made some. They just don't bleed... Carnists love bleeding food...
Yes absolutely, I think these are transitional helpers to get people thinking and moving towards a plant based diet. THEN they can switch over to my recipes and make their own, organic, healthier versions at home ;)
Oh my goodness @fruitarianism, I totally agree with you! For one, I only use organic, non-gmo soy grown from a local farmer I have a connection with here and I use it sparingly but I worry about the soy crops of the world for sure.
As for these burgers, to be honest, I don't think they are perfect but I love the fact that people are out there working on this, trying to come up with an environmentally friendly, comparable alternative that people will actually try.
I make burgers probably on average once a week (none of them bleed nor would I want them to lol) and they are made from organic, non-sketchy ingredients and I would prefer if everyone would do it this way which is why I share those recipes however, since I know that's not really attainable for everyone, I was happy to do the research into these new easy to make burgers in hopes to spread the plant based movement and get people thinking about trying an alternative =D
Thanks for stopping by, I hope we get even better than this in the future, but I have high hopes that the world is changing towards a more natural selection of foods <3
