Hey there everyone. Since the beginning of the year, I've been doing pretty well with the reviews. I've only missed 2 consecutive weeks, I've reviewed more burgers than I did in the same period last year, and the reviews have been getting more sophisticated as my knowledge about everything burger grows. But this is all changing. I'm not going to be reviewing burgers anymore. In fact, I'm never going to eat a burger again. As delicious as they are, burgers are killing me, and you shouldn't really be eating them either. I didn't make this decision lightly, but after reading this article, I had no choice but to change my ways.
Studies now say that eating burgers is the equivalent of eating yourself into an early grave. It increases your risk of early death by 13%. That's 13% PER hamburger. By that math, I have a 3757% of an early death. Seriously?! I'm definitely going to die young. Do I want that? No. What if I want to have kids?! The article I linked to above mentions the health benefits of going Vegan. While I think that's a little drastic for me, at least to start out, I'm going cold turkey on red meat, and sticking to poulty and fish, and hopefully within 6 months can be completely vegetarian, then within 9 months be completely Vegan.
Wish me luck. I'll continue posting reviews on here, of veggie burgers, chicken burgers, etc. Until I go full-on Vegan, at which point this will be done.
