Is it just me or does it seem that hamburger meat has become increasingly more disgusting?

I remember when I was younger, I would eat tacos or make hamburgers, and they were good and juicy, and over the last few years no matter where I get hamburgers from, it's either tasteless or disgusting.

Has anyone experienced the same? What do you think is going on?

@GeniUs True. It's sad, really that getting older means your body outgrows food one used to enjoy as a kid.

@Bri89 A while back I made my own burgers and it was very easy; beef mince (pork for hamburgers), finely chopped onion, an egg, and flour to bind it all together. Add herbs, (I just used ground black pepper to warm them up a bit) mix all the ingredients and use a cutter or even the mouth of a cup to get the shape. Use the ones you want right away and freeze the rest, I put individual patties in small freezer bags before stacking them in the freezer. They were better and cheaper than shop bought patties and now the price has risen to £2.50 for 4 quarter pounders (UK) I'll be making them again.
