Exactly - even here in South Africa, it is getting hard to find.

When I made a point of looking for mince that is not'lean', the large supermarkets did not stock it and the butchers told me that there is not enough of a demand for it...so I went and stood at counters (in supermarkets) and when someone would buy mince, I would ask whether they are going to add cooking oil. They usually said yes, so I asked, 'which do you think is more natural and healthier - and tastier, cooking the mince in its own fat or in the GMO oils which have pesticide in them. They mostly put back the mince and looked for full fat mince. I would then tell them they have to ask for it from the butcher. I do not think I was instrumental in bringing back the full mince, but I must have helped in a tiny way.

Here in SA, everyone keeps saying 'can't complain' when asked how they are. I then answer by asking them, 'why? are you a dumb sheep? I love complaining - and sometimes I get what I want, which is better than never'. It does not make me many friends, but most reply, 'I guess you are right.'
