You might be thinking ahead to the coming weeks when we bring the grills out and start planning our first BBQs of the year (that's if you haven't already). However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture wants everyone in the Hudson Valley and nationwide to beware of the latest big recall. This involves beef. Lots of beef. What brands are being pulled?

Where's the Beef? 

In other news, sometimes people have been known to lie about size. In this case, it has to do with the size of the meat. Fast-food giant Burger King is reportedly facing a class-action lawsuit after consumers claim the chain basically bragged about the size of their Whopper but didn't fully deliver the results. The suit touches upon the nation's current high inflation, and the pressures on consumers' budgets. All this over some damn hamburgers?

CBS says that the plaintiffs are claiming that Burger King made their Whoppers look approximately 35% bigger in its advertising than it is in reality. The suit says that the consumers are seeking monetary damages for anyone who was "deceived" by Burger King's advertising. The lawsuit goes on to say that Burger King "materially overstate(s) the size of its burgers" in advertisements going back to 2017.  But while the images of the Whopper may have grown bigger through the years, the "recipe or the amount of beef or ingredients contained in Burger King's Whopper has never changed," the lawsuit claims.

The suit claims that the fast-food chain also overstated the size of other menu items as well.
