It would probably be best to either leave this out or add an additional 
comment.

It is not a sensible or a scientific comparison - people who have been 
cryopreserved have been carefully treated with a view to reanimation, whereas 
hamburgers are made by first cutting up cows and grinding them to a paste 
which is re-constituted to make the hamburger. The grinding process is not 
part of cryonics.
