I’ve been hoping that the low-carb/paleo movement would get us away from all the flavorless meat we’ve been subjected to during the last few decades.
I remember wonderful pork chops with lovely fat on them; beef with fat; and now, there’s not even much left of that little bit of tasty fat on the lamb chops!
Fortunately, we can still get bone-in, skin-on chicken parts down here.
When meat was more natural, and less “engineered” to be low-fat, it tasted better and you ate LESS of it! I think the whole ‘low-fat’ movement will end up being proved a real folly.

But it makes libs feel good, so we’re stuck with it. I remember an episode of the Twilight Zone with Mickey Rooney in which he worked in a small NYC grocery store. They obviously filmed in a real store, circa 1961, and while everyone was following the plot, I was oohing and aahing the marvelous marbling of the cuts of beef in the meat section! You don’t see that anymore.
