This is something which must be taken with a grain of salt. I was watching
a show the other day in which the study of hamburger showed a *very* high
incidence of *other meat* products in the hamburger. Pork and turkey
predominently. If they add this to what is *required* to be pure beef
products.. what will stop them from adding filler.. and not tell you?
It has been *proven* they are not above *breaking the law*?

Who loves ya.
