SparkyJones said "You ask them not to put 'seasoning' on your burger and 'no salt' on your fries or onion rings. Those are added on after they cook them. That's what I do myself. Then I know I won't have a salt overload and the food is made fresh. If it was mentioned to the staff at the time they could have suggested the change and maybe even fixed it for you for no extra charge.     Edited by SparkyJones, 2016-04-08 11:42:34"

The last time I went there I asked for no salt or seasoning, yet they still managed to put it on the burger, they fixed it after I went back up to the counter. The funny thing was when I was waiting for them to get a new burger, three other people came up to the counter and complained about the salt on their burger and also got new ones made. There's no need to have excessive salt and seasoning on the burgers and fries and if they keep on having to make new burgers, it costing the company.

It's likely that somebody made a mistake in that case, or was not properly trained. I doubt they would purposely salt their food to a degree where a significant percentage of their customers will request new ones.

So why doesn't our government ban using hormone implants? Are hormone implants banned in the US?

Thanks for the articles about hormones. The consumer is being bombarded by companies trying to gain markets by making claims their product is better. products are labeled as light(color) gluten free and natural.As a producer when I have a sick animal I try my best to help it, but now large corp are saying I should let it die so they can advertise antibiotic free. Years of research have said it is safe to eat beef but these corp are trying to gain market assess by making unscientific claims.  
The problem is that humans are abusing antibiotics by asking for them every time they have a sore throat. They dont finish their prescriptions so some of the bugs survive and now they are resistant. So now when someone gets a drug resitant bug they blame the farmer for using antibiotics, consumer education is the only way to set this straight. Their are so few farmers left we dont stand a chance anymore. Every time the consumer ask for more from us another farmer quits and our food will eventually have to be imported.

It's meat from an animal, It never will and cannot be hormone free.

Please read the rest of the thread, that was already covered.

Very good point Hayfield. The big corps and the media dictating what is better for us , in this case it's beef.  
 
Just look at all the asinine comments on here. People need to research themselves and not take any companies word for it. Especially not a for profit company.  
 
They spin and spin all the info to sound legitimate.  
 
 
On another note.... You want all your stores to sell free range eggs. Be ready for huge price increase. You guys will be complaining about egg prices in 3/4 years.  
 
All this extra special treatment for animals that are solely on earth to provide us with food will cost the public huge amounts of money. For what? More healthy produce. Nope. So the animals can live a better life.  
 
Most people will not be able to afford our local produce in a few years but the cow n chicken will be living in the lap of luxury for a year or two while it's producing.

At the bottom of the link i gave there is a table that compares the amount of hormones in Beef vs. other things that people take/eat. If people would use a little common sense instead of jumping to conclusions, we would all be a little better off. "

Remember, cattle produce hormones naturally, just like you and me. But there is no need to worry about the levels of hormones that are produced in the animals. Take this into consideration:  
 
To eat enough beef to receive the same amount of estrogen as ONE birth control pill, a woman would have to consume 18,421 three ounce servings of beef PER DAY  
One pound of beef from cattle implanted with a growth hormone contains 15,000 times less than the amount of estrogen produced DAILY by the average male & nine million times les than the amount of estrogen produced by a pregnant female  
One 8-oz serving of cabbage contains over 1,000 times more estrogen than the same serving size of steak from beef with a hormone implant
