Attention Associates, wank spill in the freezer section.
A bit of a mini wank that's a tad old, fortunately it freezes well.

Life Hacker posts a tip from Lunch in Box about a nifty way to freeze ground meat. Take your ground meat, put it in a gallon ziplock bag, pound it flat, and use a chopstick or ruler to press four lines into it to create nine square patties. Freeze. A nifty little hint that just takes a moment to do, saves bags, freezer space, and makes it easy to watch your portions.

It starts off well, with people posting their own helpful hints, but quickly goes downhill.

lionalbob,
Isn't this precise measuring procedure anal retentive or OCD symptoms?

People respond politely:

johnydover,
Or if you're on a diet and you're counting calories, or you can use the pre-proportions to make sure you don't break yourself off too much red meat at once, etc. It's a way of being aware of exactly how much you're eating.

A lot of people have dietary restrictions due to illness, too. Diabetics don't have to keep too much track of protein, but they're required to have a certain amount to balance out their limited carb consumption

Naturally, this doesn't go over too well:

Deprog Mori,
You don't need this for dietary restrictions. If you can't figure out how to limit your intake of X ingredient just by using common sense, you're screwed.

This is the OCD/AR version of portion control, but it really doesn't convey any sort of advantage to anyone.

Bruce A,
@Deprong Mori: Are you serious? OK, so let me run this by you: which is better? Being able to break off a couple patties which will thaw quickly or having to thaw a whole pound of ground beef when you only needed half a pound? I don't know about you, but I'm going to say option #1 is more advantageous.

Deprog Mori,
Nah, you don't freeze a whole pound of ground beef. Portion it any way you want, but don't be so AR/OCD about the whole thing. Duh.

Just portion your ground beef quickly. Just form a hamburger patty in the size and shape of a hamburger patty. Whether or not it's within 50 grams of a baseline amount is irrelevant.

Jesus, are you folks that fucking lame to not understand this?

And it goes on from there. Good times.
