While I agree, I agree to a point - the cheap meat out there is the fatty, low-quality meat. Try to find 93% lean ground beef cheap. You can&#39;t do it (and if you can please tell me where to find it!). <br /><br />But yes, on the whole, the cheap crap is what is readily available and made inexpensive. It&#39;s a problem - in medieval times being overweight was a sign of wealth, nobility or royalty...because you HAD to be one of those in order to be able to afford to get that fat. Today, it&#39;s almost the opposite - getting that big is the cheap common-man blue-collar way, while people making decent money are buying grass-fed free-range organic meats and organic quinoa / brown rice health-blend this-and-that. It&#39;s very difficult for someone like me to be able to afford to eat that kind of foods in the volume necessary for someone trying to do the &quot;fitness&quot; thing. I make it work...but its very tough.
