That and meat “extenders”. Soy products mostly. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to eat off the dollar menu.
You know, I bet you’re right.
That would explain the “Angus” marketing.
None of the places want to say they’re offering special burgers which aren’t using meat extenders, so they say “100% Angus Beef” - to avoid saying: “these are the burgers without soy products and other extenders like we use in everything else”.
That’s gotta be it. And explains why the various Angus burgers are expensive.
Thanks.
