Well, the veggie burger doesn't have meat, of course. Some people would argue that without the meat you eliminate all the things that could have been fed to the cow, like growth hormone, antibiotics, etc. etc.

I veggie burger is usually made with organic herbs,spices,beans,and grains.It tastes like meat and has the same texture as burgers without the meat that is injected with hormones,insulin,drugs,as well as the animal living in deplorable inhuman living conditions.
-
nothing intrinsically, if it is a commercial one. It is just preference. A homemade meat pattie can always benefit from having pureed vegetables added to it.
-
The veggie burger does not contain meat, so vegetarians feel better about having one since the regular burgers contain the meat ingredient that they do not want to have.
-
Mostly soy. No saturated fat (or far far less) or cholesterol, if i recall correctly.
-
typically the contents are soy proteins, processed vegetables and usually some wheat (unless stated otherwise). It all depends on what you are trying to be healthy about. Processed anything will be high in sodium, but veggie burgers will be lower in fat. It's not an apple - to - apple issue.

Vegies, sometimes soy or wheat. I think they tend to have less fat than beef hamburger patties. I'm a vegetarian so I eat lots of different varieties of vegie burgers - I love to pile on the tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and onions just like regular hamburgers.

If you have a Ruby Tuesday in your town, go there and have one of their Veggie Burgers. Its the best on the planet. No meat of any kind, but you would never know it, the way its prepared.
