you mean like mcdonald's?

All McDonald's hamburgers are 100 percent beef with an 80/20 lean-to-fat
ratio, meaning the burgers contain 20 percent fat before cooking.

so 50/50 is bullshit. what on earth would a 'commercial' fast food
restaurant use it for? no way a 50/50 burger would hold together, and
chili or the like made with a 50/50 mix would look (and probably taste)
completely disgusting.
