Ground meat is mystery meat. I remember years ago, I used to buy lean ground beef and saw colors in the meat that I thought had no business being there. Ever since then, I either avoided ground beef or had a butcher grind lean cuts for me.
I'm pretty sure there's also a genetic component but, yes, there is the age sensitivity thing, too. Most people get way more sodium in their diet than they need. Was the burger cooked at home or was this a restaurant meal?
Can't comment on the evolutionary component, if it exists. Personally, I don't mind when someone discusses health issues. It helps them to talk about it, a good friend listens, and you can always learn something new from the exchange. However, there are people I know, including a couple of distant family members, who only seem to want to talk about what ails them. They can't seem to go into enough detail and minutia, and it's all about them all the time. I don't think my general aversion to them is evolutionary. Their concept of a conversation is where they complain and you listen. Period. And then there's always the retelling, just in case you missed some of the details...I don't normally talk about mine as I have found healthy people view discussion of injuries as a show of weakness and express their inherent superiority for not being injured. Odd thing with humans, I guess it is an evolved response to needing to leave the injured to die
