Its because for some reason in the US people think everything needs neatly trimmed. If they don't trim the fat cap off the cut it will set and go to the yellow discount tag. Most people don't realize that is flavor. The grocery chains tell their butcher how the cut is to be cleaned up. Some will let you order ahead but even that's dying off unless you go straight to a meat locker.

Yep, I think it is two things: 1. Many people equate fat with gristle, which it is not. 2. Many people think eating fat will make you fat, or torpedo your cholesterol -- most new studies debunk these myths. Animal fat is essential for the brain, and consuming fat helps with weight loss -- because it makes you feel full.
