To eat the fat or not eat the fat?

Why would you pay $12/lb for fat you're not going to eat?

Not that expensive down under

No matter what you pay, it's foolish to buy food to throw away. If you don't like eating fat, I'd suggest not buying fatty cuts of meat.

It’s also foolish to put too much pure animal fat in your body. It keeps the meat tender whilst cooking but it doesn’t mean you have to eat it. I probably would though. I was merely asking OPs option. It’s a choice at the end of the day.

So, I do not eat all of the fat, however the outside was crusty and tasty from the salt so I might have sliced a sliver to enjoy it.
