What if your next burger could help fight climate change?
In this episode of Vedge Your Best, Michele talks with Jonah Goldman, co-founder of PLNT Burger, about how one small idea—born from a childhood trip to an animal sanctuary—grew into a fast-growing plant-based burger chain with a mission: joy, flavor, and planet-friendly impact.
Learn how PLNT Burger is:
Redefining fast food with a 100% plant-based, kosher, halal, and GMO-free menu
Using radical inclusivity and nostalgia to win over skeptics
Offering a live impact calculator to track how much land, water, and carbon you’re saving with each order
Giving away a free burger or sandwich just for downloading their app
Whether you’re vegan, plant-curious, or still craving classic drive-thru flavors, this conversation will challenge how you think about food, activism, and what's possible—one bite at a time. Follow PLNT Burger → @plntburger on Instagram
