Why hamburgers are unhealthy?

[Anonymous]

Anyone know? Hambergers sold outside?

Hamburgers, mainly those produced in the US are absolutely worst to consume and I would caution anyone to refrain or substantially reduce the consumption of such garbage food.

The enormous quantities of antibiotics that the farmers give to the cattle to keep them "healthy" is just astronomic. Consequences: People with a high consumption of US beef will sooner or later develop a resistance to antibiotics and you know what that implies, right?

Furthermore, hamburgers, especially those made with fatty ground beef and high-calorie toppings, can be a significant source of calories and saturated fat, which can contribute to weight gain and other health issues and particularly those from restaurants or processed patties, can be high in sodium, which can raise blood pressure.

I mean, I'm not sure hamburgers have to be super unhealthy. Arguably, they have a good amount of protein, many have several food groups, including fruits and vegetables, etc. It really depends on how they're prepared and what's going into them. (ex. how the meat is sourced, how the burger is cooked, what sort of bread is being used, what portion sizes are being used, etc)

They're not inherently unhealthy in the right portion size, right ingredients, quality of ingredients & handling, etc. But they best tasting ones & the ones I would prefer to eat are usually are the most unhealthy. I would eat them more often but they've just got too much saturated fat in them to be eating so frequently. I could eat them more often if I got lean beef & really watched my saturated fat intake with my other foods. But it causes me so many issues that I notice I'm just better off avoiding it entirely.

The main problem would be if they're not properly cooked. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with eating hamburgers as part of a balanced diet.

Bread is terrible for you and so are most store bought condiments. Meat and veggies are fine.

[In_Trance]

Additives and preservatives make them unhealthy

[Asker]

When I make them in the home is it unhealthy?

[In_Trance]

If you using pedestrian bread and beef that you buy in a grocery store, then yes

[Asker]

That does mean every meat or bread you bought from market is unhealthy?

[In_Trance]

Unless you can verify the source and that Source can confirm, it's garbage.
Every grocery chain in North America is going to give you garbage

[Asker]

So where should people but their meat and breads? Dont you buy any meat?

[In_Trance]

You have to buy a direct from the grower. The grower can tell you what's been added and what the animal has eaten over the course of its life.
