next to your pan-fried hamburger,
and that’s one complete serving of
proteins, vegetables, and awesome-

prepare. Not too much into the beef
scene? Have a look at some equally

impressive protein counterparts, such

some of them are more phallic-shaped
and easy to make fun of (but isn’t that
the best part?) and there is NO deny-

you could buy a log (yes, a log!) of
hamburger at the grocery store? Did
you know you could save yourself
roughly eight dollars by buying your
hamburger in bulk, separating it into
different baggies, and finally freezing
these meal-size portions for use at a
