Supermarket burger patties all have nitrates to cure/preserve them which turn into nitrosamines when cooked (carcinogenic). Same goes for bacon etc. I'm actually super appalled how the agrolobby with its full-page ads was able to turn something healthy into something being viewed as chemical and unhealthy.

you've posted this multiple times and it's not actually true. go read the ingredients list on a supermarket burger

  • You're right, it's more salami, hot dogs and other meat products. But you're right on burgers themselves for the most part.

    Perhaps a tangent, but they're not required to list "chlorine" as an ingredient if the slaughterhouse washes the beef with bleach to kill bacteria.
