Would you eat either of these? I’d say neither…

While I love that Shake Shack doesn’t use antibiotics or hormones in their beef, that’s about where my love ends. You don’t need all of these processed ingredients to make a burger. Those buns and sauces are made with controversial preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, and Calcium Propionate. They can do so much better!

Five Guys in the U.S. uses beef from cows who are given antibiotics…but they don’t overseas in other countries. In the UK they source beef from Scotland, where there are very strict laws controlling antibiotics in farming.

U.S. factory farms use 80% of the nation's antibiotics, and they have been OVERUSED for decades. The overuse of antibiotics has caused an emergence of deadly bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics. It’s in our soil, water, air, and food.

In other words, if you were to take antibiotics for an infection, it may not work because of practices like antibiotic-dependent factory farming.

Look closely and you’ll see the back of the box says "Contains a Bioengineered Food Ingredient" - which means it contains GMO ingredients.

GMO ingredients are derived from bioengineered seeds – like corn – injected with new DNA, viruses, herbicides, insecticides and/or other substances – to be resistant to synthetic chemicals.
