Agreed.  They cover this in the article:

"One strategy is consumer-friendly labeling, said Kent Harrison, group
brand manager for premium beef programs at Cargill Meat Solutions in
Wichita. Packages show if a cut is right for the grill or best as a pot
roast, or if a grade of ground beef is best for hamburger patties or
Hamburger Helper. The labels often have recipes."

Okay, what is the best use for the different grades of ground beef?  
Are we talking about the fat percentages? I usually go for the leaner  
mixtures, although if the price is much higher I tend to back down a  
grade or so from the most expensive. I usually end up with the 85/15%  
fat mixtures. Or are you talking about ground chuck vs. the usual  
hamburger?
