Moment. Ruined.<\/span><\/p>\n

How could something that tastes that good be wrong?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Little do they know\u2026 your burger\u2019s actually made out of bison! (Recipe Below!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Bison???<\/span><\/p>\n

Yep, Bison!<\/span><\/p>\n

Who would have thought that the exotic lumbering beast of the Wild West could be so delicious and nutritious but it is.<\/span><\/h3>\n

1. Bison is patriotic!<\/b><\/h4>\n

Double down on that ultimate American cookout you have planned by substituting beef with America\u2019s Official Mammal.<\/p>\n

2. Bison is healthier than other meats.<\/b><\/h4>\n

And not just other red meats – bison beats out that healthy chicken on Total Calories, Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, and Iron.<\/p>\n

3. Bison tastes better than beef.<\/b><\/h4>\n

It is sweeter in flavor than that cheap ground beef that goes into burgers. It\u2019s also more tender than beef – so throw all of those thoughts about bison being \u201cgamey\u201d out the window.<\/p>\n

4. Bison are better for the environment.<\/b><\/h4>\n

Since American Bison are native to North America, they\u2019ve evolved to beat off disease and thrive in all four seasons so they don’t need any extra antibiotics.<\/p>\n

5. Bison get claustrophobic!\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

They hate small spaces so they can\u2019t get crammed into factory farms and are raised on the open range.<\/p>\n
