Lol
Are you really this ignorant of meat production in the United States, or are you just playing dumb?
There's a world of difference between a ground, pre-made frozen burger patty, ground beef, and even a run of the mill steak in the US.
Take a look at the fucking package on the product you're buying. Frozen burger patties come with ingredient lists a mile fucking long, and ground beef packages usually come with an origin marker saying how the cattle in the package might have originated from three different continents.
At one point, I gave enough of a shit about this stuff to bother going to a butcher and getting them to give me a stink eye while they ground up a low quality steak so I could at least be reasonably assured that it came from one cow. Ultimately, I mostly just gave up on beef burgers.
Nearly every even partially processed product in the United States is like this. For example, pre-cut romaine lettuce is much more likely to make you sick, because it's like sampling lettuce from twenty area factory farms downstream from the meat factory.
Perhaps you should start buying your meat from somewhere else.
I'm not gonna bother going to a butcher regularly so I can have a slightly less dangerous but still unhealthy meal. I'd rather just (and have) changed my diet.
But yeah, you're right, the state of the US meat industry is a me problem. 🙄🥱😆
