Grass fed beef is typically too devoid of fat for producing decent
burgers... but that said there is no way to know what/who is in
preground meat, ALL preground meat should be considered Mystery Meat,
there's no way to know if it's grass fed because fat content depends
on which cut and how trimmed, and fat trimmings can easily be added.
Preground can't be considered organic either, in fact there is no such
thing as any organic food, only organic fools who don't seem to mind
over paying for a fairy tale. I've said it before and I'll say it
again, the ONLY way to know what/who is in ground beef is to grind it
oneself. I've no idea why so many are averse to taking 15 minutes to
grind a ten pound roast; 5 minutes grinding, 5 minutes clean up, 5
minutes packaging bulk or 20 seconds forming/packaging per burger.
