Absolutely not. A frozen hamburger patty is one of the most efficient, delicious, and honest foods you can eat. It’s not pretending to be a superfood. It’s not a kale smoothie. It’s meat. It’s been in your freezer for six months. It costs about a dollar. And it wants you to eat it without shame.
Just remember: It’s not the calories in the patty that will get you—it’s the calories you invite to the party. So go ahead. Eat that frozen patty. Grill it, pan-fry it, or cook it in the microwave if you’re a monster. Your calories are your business. But now, you know the truth. And the truth is delicious, slightly greasy, and sometimes comes with fake grill marks.
