Works out cheaper than Aldi, so ideal for freezing.

I find it incredible that , after all the horror stories about factory farming, salmonella, mad cow disease, etc., etc., people are still looking at meat as a commodity to buy at the lowest possible price.
This isn't a question of animal welfare, but self protection. To sell meat significantly cheaper, corners have to be cut - so it is either pumped with water (so you are not getting what you pay for) or some regulations have been skirted around (so it is less safe) or it is imported from somewhere where all these things can be done AND the labour costs are lower. Which one of those sounds best to you?
Find somewhere that sells a good product at a reasonable price, check the quality and, if the price is still higher than you can afford, eat less of it!! In other countries meat is a far less significant part of the diet - we in the West consume too much protein.
... and this comes from a confirmed carnivore!

Probably 1kg is added water :confused:
Not quite that much, but can be up to 18% added water.
