Recently, I've noticed that whenever I buy minced meat the meat on the inside of the lump is darker than that on the surface. I've also noticed that there is considerably more water evaporating from the meat on the frying pan (almost yields an enitre lake of fatty water) than there used to be.
I'm not a meat-know-it-all, but can anyone with knowledge maybe tell me whether this is normal or not? It feels as if though the darker meat is due to "repackaging" old meat with fresh meat at the top and the water is injected to make the meat heavier and thus more costly.
If this is true I really need to go down and give my local butcher a royal spanking. I need to be sure first though
Thank you

Is it?
Well, what I am referring to is grinded meat then... or something like that. When you take a cow and run him through a propeller!

I honestly think retailers who cheat with food that way should be decapitated. I mean, what choice do the customers have - boycott eating?

you could buy steak and mince it yourself, but that's a waste of a good steak. mmmmmmm, steak.
Problem is they inject water into 'unprocessed' meat too. No, not the cows, but the steaks.
