An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I bought a bunch of burgers and made a spreadsheet to graph their basic nutrition stats against each other:
The HuffPo article feels more like a fluff ad piece than a real discussion or informative piece. But my data above is just data.
For the most part, it doesn't matter compared to what you top it with, or what kind of bread you use.
I bought some vegan veggie burgers from my local Indian grocery store a few times and it was legit 11/10. I can't find anything even close as good at American stores.
Dr. Praeger’s are always crazy oily. Engine 2 follow code to a whole food standard but they taste awful. Hillary's are probably the best alternative in that list.
If I wanted a healthy veggie burger I'd make it from scratch - burgers are junk food, stop trying to make me eat healthy!
Surely "least unhealthy"
