The National cattlemen’s Beef Association has announced that Americans consumed 11.3 billion burgers in 2004 and again in 2006, including fast food and in-home meals.
Where in the hell do they come up with something like that? Surely they didn’t try to divide the pounds of meat they sold by a quarter pounder. That wouldn’t work because when people buy two pounds of hamburger, the meat council has no idea what they do with it. Perhaps it figures in some weird erotic scheme or maybe the dog eats it or maybe it goes into a pot of chili.
I know I didn’t make 8 juicy patties the last time I bought two pounds of hamburger. I made a MEAT LOAF. So you can for sure subtract 8 burgers from that 11.3 billion total.
There’s no way this council could know what we’re doing with our meat.
UNLESS and it’s a very big UNLESS. Are there black helicopters flying over our houses counting hamburgers or has the Tri Lateral commission started slipping tiny microchips in our sandwiches?
I’m glad I’m not paranoid!

Why the National Cattleman’s Association called me just last week. They found out we have 7 people in our household and knew we couldn’t afford steak so they assumed we always ate burgers. I think just our family ate the total burgers they are talking about! What I wouldn’t give for a nice juicy steak once in a while!
