Angst Bürgerlich

[chickenfeet]

Back in the days when I worked in the frozen food industry in the Uk the standard "beefburger" was a two ounce patty. The quarter pounder was very much the upscale Uberburger. So how come, tonight, as I look at slightly more than one pound of meat in a bowl, it looks grossly insufficient to make four burgers?

has there been some long term temporal shift in human burger perception?

Maybe the meat has become a lot more dense over the last ten years or so?

That must be it. All the cattle are suffering from dense cow disease.
