Nope, I’m not liberal by any means. While I want my fellow freepers to eat anything they want, I just want them to think facts about how the protein sources they choose to build their bodies with might point toward health or chronic inflammation / illness. It isn’t liberal, just smart, to consume clean food.
Ground meats have no outside surface, and if the butcher took a roast or other cut of meat and ground it up before sanitizing it, the outside is now on the inside contaminating all of it.
If you want some good safe burger, just buy a cheap roast, rinse if off, cut it into cubes and throw it into the food processor. If it's too dry, throw in a little lard or bacon fat.
Now, cook it as rare as you want.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one here who insists on following a natural diet of non-processed food...
