Today we touch on meatless meals and the importance of understanding the energy and resources behind the burger!

According to this nifty geographic from NPR, it takes a lot of resources to create one quarter pound of hamburger.
This immense use of resources is one of the main motives behind the Meatless Monday movement, and a great reason to break out a new vegetarian recipe every now and again.
