I have trouble with the grass fed $4.50 per pound ground beef. I'd be balking at $9/lb, too! We like the butcher's (conventional in the sense that it's grain finished but not feedlot) 75% lean ground beef. It's way less expensive than the 85% or 95% stuff he sells and makes one yummy burger.
When the fat composition of my meat is my worst nutritional issue, I'll worry about it. Until then, I have loads of other changes to work on. |
