A hamburger is not made of ham but of ground-up beef, shaped into a patty, which is then grilled and placed between the two halves of a sesame seed bun. In giant feedlots up to 100,000 cattle eat grain from concrete troughs, along with a cocktail of anabolic steroids and growth hormones. According to a recent study by the US Department of Agriculture, these crowded conditions are a breeding ground for infectious diseases. Many feedlots are owned or controlled by the four giant meatpacking firms that slaughter 84% of the USA’s cattle. Eric Schlosser do the dirty and dangerous job of Meatpacking who investigated slaughter houses for His book Fast Food Nation. The meat in a single fast food hamburger could come from dozens, or even hundreds of cows.
I eat a burger now and then so am not a vegetarian but I did not know how the cows were brought to life. If you buy a hamburger, you never know of course whether this cow has had a good life but now I also know that hundreds of cows can sit in a hamburger. I self prefer to eat meat that has had a good life but in the Mac Donald, you can not see if the burger you're going to eat this one has had good life. I think animals should be given more freedom before they are killed and not kept in small cages.
