The Bite:
Not likely. Today, the #1 burger bandit would go for more planet-friendly plunder like bison, organic beef, and soy burgers. Robble, robble.
If the Hamburglar were green, would he steal Big Macs?

The Benefits:
- Tastier bites. Our Biter taste buds deemed these options worthy of our bite.
- Sustainability. A 22-year study found that organic farming uses 30% less energy but yields the same amount of food.
- Better for Biter bodies. The less pesticide residue in our food, the better.
Personally Speaking:
During a Fourth of July party at Michael Keaton's home, the bison looked and smelled so good that consummate veg-head Jen asked the Montana-lovin' star for a bite of his sausage.
Wanna Try:
- Wild Idea Buffalo Burgers - bison is richer in flavor than beef and even less fatty than most white meats ($10/3 patties).
- La Cense Steak Burger Patties - beef from cows raised free of antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides ($3 each).
- Lightlife Gimme Lean Ground Beef Style - ground beef-like soy that grills like the real thing ($4).
- Morningstar Farms Veggie Burgers - these patties come in five organic-soy flavors ($5/4 patties).
Cocktail Fact
Citing the Hamburglar's promotion of theft, parental organizations are lobbying for his removal from the McDonald's roster.
Bang For The Bite
Although a little pricier, these burgers are way better for you and the planet than your average "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun."
