It doesn't matter what you believe or AI states, pork butts that go
that cheap by pound are overly fat

Oh, so the FACTS no longer matter do they, Joanie Dictator?

Based on the few posts of hers I've seen, facts have never
mattered to her.

You really think they sort for fat and price, seriously?

AI Overview

No, pork butts on sale are not inherently fatter or
lower quality than regular-priced ones.

[Snip Joan being PROVED wrong.]

Being on sale doesn't mean much, other than the pork butt is on
sale.

That is not unfair to observe, true.

Pretty much yes.

And hopefully they weren't sent to Jina first for processing.

I feel that with pork, fatty is good, and none of them are 60/40
fat/lean. That is so absurd that it's hard to believe that you wrote it. Here are the percentages given by the AI:

********
AI Overview
Pork butt (also called Boston butt or pork shoulder) has a natural fat-to-lean ratio of 70% to 80% lean and 20% to 30% fat.
Why This Ratio Matters
The "Sweet Spot": A 20% to 30% fat content (roughly an 80/20 or 70/30
ratio) is considered ideal for making fresh sausages, bratwurst, and
smoked pulled pork.
No Extra Fat Needed: Because pork butt naturally falls right into this target range, you can grind it straight out of the package for sausage-making without having to measure or add extra fat.
Variations in Fat Content
With Fat Cap: If your pork butt has a thick exterior fat cap left
intact, it will lean closer to the 30% fat (70/30) mark.
********

I'm from the pork butt capital of the world. Here in STL, they slice
them into 1/2" thick "pork steaks." They taste great, but they're tough.
If you type --> pork butt st. louis
into Google, you'll see.

"St. Louis is said to consume more barbecue sauce per capita than any
other city in the United States."
source-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis%E2%80%93style_barbecue#History
A lot of that is used on those tough-ass pork steaks. It's like this, if
you want to disparage pork shoulder butts, call them something like
tough as shoe leather. That's an exaggeration, but it's not completely stupid like claiming that they are 60% fat.>

I deleted your attempt to entice trolls from another group to come here
and add their 'wisdom.' You won't thank me, but the other posters here possibly will.

No one posts to alt.punk anymore. The only enticing is enticing you, et
al, to complain. I wonder if any of the outsiders you think are being enticed in would make such a totally bogus claim as you did about
something on topic in this NG.

More fat is good on pork. My favorite pork dish is Okinawan Shoyu pork. I can't say if many people can make it come out right. I used to be able to cook it but it's been a while since I made any. It's not easy for old folks to eat but I could handle 2 pieces just fine - I think. I packed this for my wife's lunch but we must have been eating low carb at the time.
