==Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment==
==Fun thought==
[[File:Sciences humaines.svg|40px]] This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available [[Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_British_Columbia/FNH200_Exploring_our_Foods_(Summer_2017)|on the course page]]. Student editor(s): [[User:Lorraineluo|Lorraineluo]].
Fun thought -- it is not unknown for people to order a veggie burger with bacon. [[User:Haikupoet|Haikupoet]] 04:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

:I think the article focuses too heavily on the idea of veggie burgers being a 'substitute' for meat burgers, when many varieties (particularly 'spicy bean burgers') have their own distinctive taste. I am not vegetarian but will sometimes have a veggie burger (or any other 'vegetarian' option for that matter) simply because it's what I want to have.
Might also be worth a mention that at McDonald's at least, it often takes them longer to prepare the veggie burgers, since they have to be cooked to order due to low demand. [[User:128.232.250.254|128.232.250.254]] 23:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

== Concerns about Soy Consumption and This Article ==
A user named Kellen, who is apparently a vegan, has removed information from this article that disputes the health benefits of soy-based burgers. Since soy-based burgers comprise the majority of veggie burgers sold in markets, at least in my part of the world, and are marketed as "health food," the debate about their safety is certainly relevant. What I wrote was just a blurb linked to Wikipedia's main article about soy. Kellen's logic that all comments about soy-safety should be limited to an article about the raw ingredient "soy" and not articles about the most popular soy products seems highly specious. If Kellen feels that there is other evidence that exonerates soy consumption as safe, I suggest that Kellen add this information and expand the article. --[[User:ManicBrit|ManicBrit]] 19:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

: Your citations are questionable and as I said (a) in my edit summary and (b) on the veganism talk page, the dangers of soy consumption belong in the article on soy, not in articles on every possible product which contains soy. [[User:Kellen`|Kellen]]<sup>[[User_talk:Kellen`|T]]</sup> 08:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


''
They do not have the same taste and texture as a real meat burger.''

as a vegetarian this is not always a bad thing...

In the same way as some veggie burgers are similar to meat is not necessarily a good thing. Which is the same point as above - this article is written from a meat eaters POV - or at least it seems that way - I will have a reread and suggest alternatives..

So, who invented the first veggie burger? I can recall hearing of tofu burgers as early as the 1970s. They were mentioned in "Ruthless People." Morningstar Farms might be added to the list of popular vburgs. Flatulence concerns are not addressed, lol. This page could be linked from "soybean" or "borborygmus." Agriculture and ecology could be mentioned, such as huge soy surpluses.--[[User:Badmuthahubbard|Badmuthahubbard]] 21:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

McDonalds in Switzerland was offering the vegetarian "Vegi-burger" from 1996 onwards. source: https://www.mcdonalds.com/ch/de-ch/newsroom/article/News.make_it_veggie.html<ref>https://www.mcdonalds.com/ch/de-ch/newsroom/article/News.make_it_veggie.html</ref>
==Tastes like a real burger?==
[[Special:Contributions/92.29.102.4|92.29.102.4]] ([[User talk:92.29.102.4|talk]]) 22:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
Are there any veggie burgers that tast like real burgers cause i tried a boca burger and was left un satisfied. I think I'll go eat a burger when wendys opens up --[[User:151.203.252.243|151.203.252.243]] 13:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


{{reflist-talk}}
I've tasted dozens of veggie burgers, and the one that most resembles beef (as far as I can remember the taste of beef) is/was made by Bird's Eye, but only in the UK. The Veggie Burger available in MacDonald's in the UK is also pretty meat-like. Wordwide, Linda McCartney veggie burgers (and even more so, sausages) are perhaps the best choice for somebody looking for a meat-like burger experience. However, I think that one should consider that a beefburger has its own taste, just a chicken burger has its own taste, so there's nothing wrong with a veggie burger having its own taste. And there are hundreds of styles of veggie burgers, each with a different taste and texture. A veggie burger is an alternative, not always just a 1 for 1 substitute for a beefburger.

*'''Oppose''' though it is called "veggie burger", many of these burgers are not actually made of vegetables, rather it is made from ''vegetative matter'' and fungi, a "vegetarian burger" for vegetarians.

== Vegetarian Fastfood chains (reference to on-going discussion) ==
*'''Oppose'''. They're called "veggie burgers". I don't think I've ever seen or heard "vegetable burger". I have seen "vegetarian burger", which I assume is the origin of the name "veggie burger". The veggie burgers in my local pub contain cheese, which is arguably vegetarian, but definitely not a vegetable. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 09:08, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. Not only is "veggie burger" the common name, the patty in the burger might not necessarily be made of vegetables.
