If you were ever on the fence about giving up fast food, this may do it for you

For hamburger, I wait until some kind of steak (usually sirloin) is on sale, then I buy it and have them grind it up (rough) and that's what we eat.

The other list they have in the article is just silly. The implication that when an ingredient comes from some creepy place, like a beetle wing or sheep's wool somehow makes it "unfit" for humans just a value judgement. BEEF IS GROUND-UP COW MUSCLE but it's OK if it doesn't have beetle parts in it.

Eat local. It sounds like a hippy-dippy statement but it works. I don't eat beef but there are people in my area who raise cows and make beef out of them and i would trust them before i would trust Big Y or Stop and Shop or, heavens forbid, beef from Walmart.
Food producers in your area know you can find them, and they know some of you are armed.

Local farmers have extra special mushrooms that grow on the cow pies in their cow fields.
