Why Do We Always Tower Our Burgers?

Towering Bison Burger
If I hadn't found myself contemplating how to eat a burger a myriad of times while out and about, I would've thought it was just me. But it isn't.

As a burger-loving community, we seem to have this obsession with huge, towering burgers -- even if they're ridiculously hard to eat, and usually result in each bite not having every delicious and hefty ingredient. I usually try to reign in my burger making for that precise reason. But the thing is, I usually don't think of it until I see the towering inferno of meat in front of me. Can our brains not process the heights of burgers, cheeses, veggies, and condiments?

Heck, I'm trying to watch my diet right now, and it didn't even occur to me to make the above burger thinner until I saw it all done up. It's like the meat gods have implanted a wall in which no rational anti-meat thought can get over until its too late. But at least it's a tasty weakness. A delicious and juicy tasty weakness.

The above burger is delectable ground bison, with a mixture of cheeses, a lightly sauteed tomato, and a ringed slice of caramelized onion.
