Mundane observations 1

I was at home over winter break, and my mom bought ground beef. The way I like to cook it to to season it, and fry it till the oil comes all out. In the US, ground beef comes as 80%, 85% or 93% lean usually. The package at home is unmarked -- what does that mean?

It turned out that the amount of fat in my ground beef was negligible. Couldn't even pour off the grease. I think that makes it better than 93% lean. Just coz products are better labeled (and thus marketed) here doesn't make it any better.

US - 0; Outside - 1.
