Most Americans Think Burgers Are Healthy
A
new survey expose that
82% of Americans who eat hamburgers think that the sandwich is a good source of
nutrients.
Researchers
with the market research group Mintel polled 1,767 Americans who had ordered a
burger from a restaurant in the last three months. 62% of the people said they
love burgers—and the numbers were strong even among Millennials, the generation
most likely to say that menu healthiness is important to them when they choose
a restaurant.
Americans’
obsession with burgers isn’t surprising, but the sandwich’s perceived
healthiness is, given the fact that the World Health Organization (WHO) recently
announced that processed meat is a carcinogen and red meat likely causes cancer.
As
burgers are good sources of protein, iron and vitamin B12, they come with a lot
of problems, according to
nutrition experts—particularly the fatty meat, sugary ketchup and refined
grain buns.
However,
the new survey did find that even burger lovers know they could choose a
healthier sandwich. People want more chicken and turkey burgers, the survey
found, which are considered healthier options.
