This is what I don't get about the food experts here. Anyone with a little sense will understand fat is what gives the meat it's juiciness and a lot of the flavour - it's exactly why good cuts of steak... you know... have a nice bit of fat around or in them.
These people are a marketers dream to be honest. I bet they pay a premium for 99% pork sausages as well. May as well buy Quorn!

I buy 1kg of Sheep keema meat for £5.00 so this is cheaper but the one I get is fresh minced in front of me from actual meat.

This may be a shot in the dark, but this is probably minced from 'actual meat'

16% fat? Which butcher selected this? You get what you pay for, I guess. Cold from me.

Drain the fat?
Depends on what I'm using it for but some meals are tastier with a little more fat content tbh.

A healthy diet is 20-30% fat per day with <7% being saturated. So yes you get what you pay for, which is something perfectly healthy.

Try and math again, 1kg is 1000g. so its 1.6% fat

Carbs bad fat ok .. Makes you wonder what doctors/ scientists will deem good or bad in the next 5 years . Fat has been demonised ,with nhs backing, for 40 years with flawed research at its core . Take a long time for people to realize this.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Eating too much meat is still bad regardless of your views on fat. Let's not just simply start blaming carbs because that's just the same mistake.
I think DoH/NHS advice was to limit sugars, salt and saturated fats and to eat complex carbs, fruit, veg with some meat, dairy etc etc. Hardly the worst advice in the world and it doesn't suggest to me that fat was demonised specifically.

Is that horse or cow which one I get lamb minced meat £5 kilo they get fresh and mince it in front of me with their machine so they can't add anything with it or take meat from it so I guess it's better to be safe then sorry.
Btw you don't know where this beef came from it could be rabbit meat as far as you know

A little trick I learned was to get the supermarket butcher to mince a beef fillet. I would just point vaguely and say can you mince that for me. Then when I saw the price I would say, I didn't mean fillet, I was pointing at the other cut. Then I would say, what are you going to do with that? They wouldn't have any use for it so I would say I will buy it for x price, they then put it through the system and I would reform the mince later at home to make a nice steak.
Obviously only do this maybe once a month, otherwise it's not fair.

That's a form of theft in my eyes. Sure you are paying something for it but the deception involved is troubling. You want a fillet? Pay for it!

It's 16g per 100g.

You math bad
lexi2000
20 Apr 161#25
16% is 16% = 16g per 100g or 160g per kilo
Come on people
Lewispr2 to lexi2000
20 Apr 161#41
Yes but 16g per kg is different to 16g per 100g.... as the title says 16g of fat, 1kg of beef. If the title said 16% then fair enough.

What he hasn't realised is he didn't reform it into a steak, he reformed it into a burger.

It's not just hindsight that's a wonderful thing , so is cast iron research before embarking on a 40 year quest to erradicate fat from from our diets and replace it with sugar/carbs .. Resulting in an epidemic of diabetes . Now sugar is the devil ,but people are conditioned to the " fat is bad" mentality , and it will take a long time to change this.

Nutritional advice was to limit sugar and sat fat and to eat and more unsaturated fats and complex carbs, not replace all fat with sugar and simple carbs.
There isn't a strong link with sugar and diabetes but there is with obesity. Obesity rate have gone up and so have diabetes. We are eating too much and/or not moving/exercising enough not because we ate too much pasta and not enough butter.

Been this price for ages, I buy 2 packs and spit into 3 and yes there's a lot of fat but just drain it off, its flavour! I use to be a chef and I think this mince is nice when on a budget if you don't like it don't buy it, heat added

These people are a marketers dream to be honest. I bet they pay a premium for 99% pork sausages as well. May as well buy Quorn!
