I was at the market，shopping for lamb chops all of them were cut super close．Also，there was no fat．"wow，they're really lean（瘦的），" I said to the butcher（肉販） " Yeah．I know! " he said，smiling．
   "But fat is what makes meat taste good，" I said．He hung his head．"Yeah，I know．"
   He moved closer to me．"Hang on，"he said． "I'll be right back．" Then he disappeared into another room．What the butcher returned with was actual meat，with some actual white material in it and around it．
   Lean meat is in when some food experts are rethinking their war against fat．Stores display only lean meat for fear that they seem unconcerned about their customers health．People fear fat．
   "People fear food， " corrected my butcher．I knew exactly what he was talking about．
   Some time ago I asked online readers to vote on several matters of personal preference，one of which was how they liked their hamburger cooked．The results were toward well-done，which surprised me，as most of my readers lead a modern lifestyle．
   I later learned what had happened with the hamburger vote：Most of the readers actually prefer underdone meat but "burn" their hamburgers for fear of some food-borne illness．One reader seriously told me that unlike steak（肉排）where 87 percent of the meat is inside and thus clean，ground meat（碎肉）is 100 percent deadly．So he cooks the danger out of it，until it is black outside，gray in the middle，without any taste．
   I don't get any of this．Food should not be something that you must kill before it kills you．So to all the people of the world who are afraid of eating food the way it should be eaten，I just want to leave you with a thought：
   If you are very careful about what you eat，you might be able to lower the amount of certain unwanted things．But you can t avoid eating them altogether，because they are everywhere in our food．
