My sister grows them in her garden. They don't smell like dirt to me... which is funny, because they come straight out from the dirt, and into the pan.
it does sound a bit odd
maybe change brands 
my mother prepares fresh small beetroot as a side salad on it's own with a meal..too
no idea how she prepares it, but it goes down well
Nope, never have. It never even crossed my mind to put a beet on a burger.
Your people must have been hard up for veggies at the time someone suggested that.
Maybe during a famine or something, way back in the dark ages? 
dunno how it came about
i wouldnt go believing everything you hear though
maybe it was because of a willingness to experiment and try something different LOL
