8. Fast Food-Fashioned Eating Goes Vegan at Popeye’s

What’s Under the Lid
Popeye’s has officially hopped on the plant-based meal trend. The iconic fast-food chain has added its first ever vegan burger to its menu. This vegetarian-friendly menu item is the result of a partnership with California-based garlic growers, Wingasa.

The vegan special sandwich is aptly named the “Corduroy Burger” and is packed with a variety of healthy, filling ingredients:

• Marinated and crispy vegan chicken
• Roma tomatoes
• Crispy lettuce
• Sourced root vegetables

On top of that, the sandwich is slathered in creamy sauces for a full-bodied flavor.

9. Opposing Views: What do Environmentalists & Chefs Think?

When it comes to food and the environment, two camps dominate the conversation: environmentalists and chefs. Let’s take a look at their opposing views.

• Environmentalists believe that food production needs to be shifted to methods that are sustainable and carbon-neutral. They oppose the use of pesticide-laden GMOs and monocultures, and call for replacing them with permaculture and agroforestry.
• Chefs advocate for supporting local farmers, minimizing food waste, and reducing dependence on industrially produced food. They also strive to use eco-friendly ingredients whenever possible, such as grass-fed mammals and sustainably sourced seafood.

When it comes to making the planet more livable for future generations, the mantra of both environmentalists and chefs is the same: do our part to reduce the unsustainable practices driving climate change. Chefs and environmentalists may take different routes to get there, but they both have the same end goal in sight.
