Wow. That article is hillarious!
I think your link is a little broken with two "http" in it. I was able to find it by going to the site.
I like their other tips like "meatloaf should be undercooked so it does not dry out during reheating" (and so you get sick while eating it the first time?) and "We've found salt gets saltier after freezing!" (because all rocks change consistency during an ~80 degree change).
Good stuff.

Where does it say that?
As for rinsing the ground beef, I've done that before, but it kind of makes the beef taste like rubber. You at least ought to drain it thoroughly. Actually, it's my opinion that if you're trying to lose weight, you need to try to avoid regularly using crumbled ground beef altogether. I have met so many people with serious weight problems that uses crumbled cheap ground beef as a staple food, they put it in everything. You can ignore the correlation for only so long.
Yep, pretty much.
But still... show me a really fat person, and 9 times out of 10 I can show you a person who eats a helluvalot of crumbled ground beef, much more than a typical really healthy person, often on a pretty much every day basis. Of course, they're eating a helluvalot of about 3 dozen other bad foods too.
Why is that? Why do many overweight people eat crumbled ground beef so much more than a healthy person? I don't get it. There's nothing scientific about this opinion at all, just something I've noticed over, and over, and over.
This one big girl who used to rent a trailer from me cooked so much of it then poured the excess down the drain that she clogged up the septic system. I hired somebody to clean it out, and she did it again... about 10 days later. I had to kick her out. That is when I started paying attention to it. Pretty disgusting if you ask me. You should have seen the junk they cleaned out of that septic tank. If you could have, you'd think twice about sticking it in your body regularly.
Assuming that observation is both true and statistically meaningful, I'd guess it's because it's cheap, moderately tasty, can be stretched a long way (which makes it even cheaper) and it used in an abundance of "homemade" convenience food. Sloppy joes, hamburger helper, shepherd's pie, a multitude of hamburger casseroles. I have an acquaintance who is Filipino of Chinese descent, and his mother's recipe for fried rice consists of ground beef, rice, and a can of peas and carrots, all cooked in the rendered fat from the ground beef.
Poverty and obesity are strongly correlated, and I'd guess that eating a lot of ground beef correlates with poverty as much or more as with obesity.
