Tastes lovely though, all the flavor is in the fat.

Lean mince is far far nicer than the awful fatty stuff with that whiteish colour. The redder and leaner the better when it comes to mince, it's such an underrated meat product and it's worth paying a bit more for the better quality stuff.

By the way, you're right that fat provides a lot of the flavour, but cheap low-grade mince will have too much fat not to mention whatever other crap has gone in there. Ideally you want mince that is basically a piece of round steak (fat and all) put in the mincer.

Fat doesn't make you fat. That's mostly a nonsense, unless you're shoveling lard into you by the bucket.
