Even the ground beef you buy in those rolls at the grocery store don't have the taste of meat.

We are now buying beef from a local farmer. There is quite difference in taste and how hungry you feel after eating a real hamburger. I can barely finish a 1/4 pound hamburger from ground beef from our local farm. But those hamburgers from a fast food place still leave me hungry, yet too full to eat.
