If McDonalds uses the leanest beef in their burgers, then why does it have such a high fat content?!?

I would guess, just by the taste, that McDonald's uses about 70% beef. That is NOT lean beef. Either that, or the cheese comes from a beef grease package.

McDonalds advertises 100% beef. They could not do that if it wasn't true.

That's not entirely true.

Only certain burgers have 100% beef content, which is the Big N Tasty & the Quarter Pounder.

Wait nm you do seem to be right:

Maybe I guess only those two burgers are considered hamburgers?

Don't be ignorant man.
IN the first link, the ingredient for the all the smaller burgers list "beef patty".
And if you scroll down, it list "beef patty" as 100% beef.
And if you go to the second link, it will say that "McDonald's hamburgers are made from 100% beef."

If you go to any supermarkets, the ground beef they sell range from 5% to 30% fat so McDonalds burgers aren't out of ordinary.

HAMBURGER IS A HIGH FAT CONTENT MEAT DUMBASS.

Are you saying that bodyfat percentage is directly related to the percent of fat in the food you eat?
