[quote=ROGERINCA,236110]Actually, the % composition is reversed.  I don't think one could stomach a burger that was 80% fat and only 20% beef ??  Moreover, it would cook down and melt away to almost nothing on the grill !! :) :)

In most states in the USA, including California, where I live, the percent of fat content of ground beef is required by law to be on the package label and also available to customers of restaurants.  The average hamburger in the USA has 20% fat and 80% actual meat.  Most Americans like to buy their ground beef in the 15%-85% ratio.  Health aspects aside, a fat content of at least 20 to 25% makes for a jucier and tastier buger.  I eat everything in moderation and I check my blood component levels twice a year, when I visit my doctor.

As a note, the very famous IN-N-Out hamburger chain, has its own meat processing plant near Los Angeles.  They do not use frozen meat and they use 100% pure beef, without any fillers such as other animal protein or soy.  It is trucked fresh almost daily throughout California, from Los Angeles.  Also, their french fries are not frozen.  They are prepared hourly from fresh cut russet potatos, at each store. Moreover, I eat more Chinese style food, than I eat hamburgers, in any given week.

Also, It would sure help if [members] would at least put their nation/region of the world, before posting here. This would avoid a lot of confusion and mis-directed information.[/quote]
