There are a number reasons for having a blended burger, but the most important aspect of these burgers is the impact they have on creating a more sustainable dining culture here on campus. Mushrooms are one of the most sustainable foods grown in the United States, particularly when you compare their water usage to that of beef.
On average, meat-mushroom burgers are 24 percent听lower in fat and 27 percent听cheaper than all-beef burgers, according to National Public Radio. If the statistics haven't convinced you, most people actually find that a meat-mushroom burger is much more flavorful than a traditional burger!
