ADA Promotes Veg Options
The American Dietetic Association compares veg food to its meat-based counterparts.
July 8, 2009
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) is introducing the public to veg alternatives as evidenced by its latest news article titled “Meet the Meatless.” The article puts the nutrition basics up front, stating that veggie burgers contain less fat than hamburgers and are classified as a good source of fiber—meat-based burgers have no fiber. The ADA concludes the terse report with preparation instructions for wary grillers and even provides a Meet the Meatless Nutrition Chart that has nutritional information for top-selling veggie dogs and burgers alongside their meaty counterparts for comparison. With so many yummy alternatives on the market now, the veggie dogs and burgers that consumers choose to introduce themselves to are sure to make a good impression.
