The Doctors (ABC): Average American eats 150 hamburgers a year!

[fried eggs]

That's really hard to believe! That means people are eating at least 3 hamburgers a week! This explains a lot.

[Jackpine Radical]

1. Wow, I'm way low on my quota.

[jp11]

3. Yeah me too I've had 2 this year I guess I outta go find some cows and butcher them

right quick.

[Le Taz Hot]

13. If we're splurging (rare)

we MIGHT have 1 a month. And since we're talking averages here, that means some people are eating MORE than 3 a week. Yuck!

[Eleanors38]

17. What happens when slopping in pizza.nt

[slackmaster]

2. I used to eat them often, but probably haven't had three in the past year

[darkangel218]

7. Thats pretty spigotish of you. lol

[fried eggs]

9. I have no idea how many I've had so far this year

But I know that I often go weeks and sometimes months between burgers. I don't trust fast food restaurants, and I've been too lazy to cook them. Also, the stories about pink slime have really slowed down my burger intake.

[Redlo Nosrep]

18. Yeah, The "Pink Slime" Did It For Me, Too

Haven't touched a fast-food burger or even purchased ground beef since.

Of course, I actually don't LIKE hamburgers, so no big deal. I just throw a steak on the barbie instead.

19. Whats pink slime? im confused

[fried eggs]

21. oh, just something found in 70% of beef

Can you believe the pink slime makers are suing ABC for revealing the truth?

23. Last night i had a cheesy gordita from Taco Hell

I guess I ingested some of the cheesy slime.. no wonder I got sick so many times after eating taco hell.

[darkangel218]

22. Nevermind i googled it. Ewww

[Fawke Em]

4. Not me!

I eat about a hamburger a month and only then if I get a good sirloin burger. I live up the road from a burger joint that's voted "Best" in my city for 20 + years straight, so when I do get that craving, I go there.

Honestly, I probably average 10-12 burgers a year.

[darkangel218]

5. There is nothing wrong with a Five Guys burger!

Omg I'm drooling as I'm typing this :p

[hlthe2b]

6. Hamburgers or any ground beef-containing food?

That many hamburgers plus all the various GB-containing foods is even more disturbing.

I doubt I eat 20 hamburgers or ground beef products a year--especially since so many outlets add nasty filler to their meat (Taco Bell comes particularly to mind).

I do make chili and the occasional spaghetti sauce containing ground beef, but certainly not approaching 150 hamburgers/year.

8. Guilty Party

Sigh.... I am one of the guilty ones in this study. I eat way too many. Convienece sake I guess.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. If that's the average, it means some people are eating a lot more than 150.

I hardly ever eat them. A guy I used to work with would go to McDonald's for lunch every single day. We had a fairly decent cafeteria but he'd get a hamburger and fries at McDonald's. Every day.

As far as I know he's still alive...

[Anthony McCarthy]

11. Someone must be eating 300 because I don't eat any

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. That's gross

[HappyMe]

14. I'm having a hard time

believing that.

Damn, now I want a Five Guys burger.

[aptsongs]

15. Hmmmm..

Guess I'm not eating enough hamburgers!!

[warrior1]

16. me too

not average

[clydefrand]

20. We often buy a hamburger every time we go out to eat

McDonalds has a 95 cent plain meat and bread also known as a 'doggy burger'.
(the dog is slighyly overweight)

[woodsprite]

24. I'm low on my quota too, and if there was a quota for hot dogs

I'm really way low on those (ever since Oscar Mayer changed their recipe). If we have either of those now, it's a homemade one or the lesser of whatever evil exists on a menu at an amusement park, zoo, etc.

25. Who doesn't love a good Baconator? nt

[Marr]

26. I stopped eating out altogether and dropped 20 lbs. this year.

I always thought I was ordering the most healthy things on the menu, but food you get at restaurants (and obviously fast food) is laden with all sorts of fatty crap you wouldn't expect.

[Whisp]

27. omg, that's crazy.

I might have one store bought burger a Month! (because most of them taste like donkey butt) and that burger is usually A&W teenburger which is awesome, or used to be, they even taste kind of lame lately.

I make my own most of the time. Lean ground with texas toasted home made bread. Waaaay better than fast food stuff.
