Recently, we wrote about The Reducetarian Solution, the idea that curbing the population’s carnivorous tendencies will reduce climate change more effectively than trying to make everyone a vegetarian. One way to do this could be by offering burger-lovers a “blended burger,” a patty made partially with mushrooms. Sonic’s, the American fast-food chain, will soon be the first chain offering blended burgers made with 25-30 percent mushrooms as a healthier alternative to traditional ones. The burger will be marketed for its taste, but the intentions are to help benefit the environment.
