Can you get the 97 percent, it will be better. I wouldn't recommend it all the time, but then again I usually only eat chicken and fish anyway. Once in a while I'll eat red meat. I don't see it causing a lot of harm. If you grill it, it will drain a lot of the fat out of the meat as well.

Ground beef will always have a fair amount of saturated fat. Instead, use lean steak and have a steak burger!

but robert is right. while the ground beef may be lean (4%), it is still better on the whole to stick with a steak. ground beef is highly processed and can contain a fair amount of impurities (the reason why you can cook a steak "rare" and not get sick, but you should cook a hamburger "well").

I, on the other hand, have a cast iron stomach and can damn near eat anything.....yummy oysters on the half shell!!!........lol.
