Best thing for ground meat---GRIND IT YOURSELF!!!You know you cleaned the grinder,you know what is in the ground meat you made-and you grind only what you need at the time.Ground meat is a delicate food-won't keep so good-so grind only what you need when you need it.Break out those grinders for the mixer-or buy a dedicated grinder for the job.Cabellas sporting goods is where I bought areal nice one from.Use sirlion steaks and they are so good when ground!Makes burgers better than what you buy or have at a restuarant.and with your own grinder-free to grind whatever meat you want-and the grinder makes EXCELLENT cranberry relish!Food processors and blenders just don't make it there.

If you have time, and freezer space, doing up a large batch of ground beef all at once and freezing it can save money & time later on. Growing up my parents would buy either a 1/2 or whole beef depending on how much chest freezer space we had at the time. The meat would be in bulk, and we would wrap and package it ourselves. The roasts and steaks would be wrapped in freezer paper and labeled with the weight, contents, and date. Ground beef was packaged in 2lb portions. My grandma would save and wash her 2qt. waxed paper milk cartons, the meat was put in the cartons, weighed, and the corners were slit to make flaps that were folded over and taped shut, labeled & dated. Growing up, we had beef so much that when we were at someone else's house and they had some other type of meat, I thought I was in heaven.
The best burgers I've ever had are from the White Manna diner in Hackensack NJ. After watching them make them for years, I finally began making them at home. Wow!
Here's a video of the White Manna grill in action:

I can't remember the last time I ate at mcdonalds. The only thing I've eaten that is considered "out" is a sub shop up the street called Firehouse Subs Or Jimmy Jons subs occasionally.
However, I do eat Lean Cuisine a lot. I'm sure it's not the greatest but it has to be better than fast food.
I eat LOTS of frozen fruit & fresh veggies. I try to get organic but can't always and I was everything I get in my Samson ultrasonic veggie washer. I usually consume most of my fruit & veggies in the form of a green smoothie with flax & chia seed.
I try to avoid MSG. That's one thing that upsets my stomach but it's in SO many things.

The "Bad Meat" Thread...
OK, OK...--I seem to have gotten over "tripe", "neck bones", "intestines" and my sightings of other gruesome meats...
As for fast food, I can't remember when I have ever ordered anything at McDonald's or Burger King (& just habitually kept myself away from it in recent times)...
The thing about fast food restaraunts is they're either going to be criticized for their food being not so good for you, or if they ever push healthy food, then they're under fire for "not being what you go to a greasy hamburger joint for"...!

Hamburger Inn
The is the mon and pop place I grew up with. Since so far away we make them hat home now. Great hamburgers and grilled onions. They have a hot sauce to top. My dad would go in and order a couple of sack fulls for our family.
