If you throw away 100 grams fat, that would make your mince only 20% fat.
That is really quite lean, but you should still pour some of that fat away. I seem to remember the extra lean is leaner than that anyway. much less than 20% and your mince will taste of nothing.

Asda's lean mince
is only 12%, and their extra lean (or whatever they call it) is only 'typically less than 5% fat'.

"Fat" is too expensive for them.
Don't get me wrong, I eat cheap and shitty food daily -- but if you're buying from a supermarket you're not buying the quality of produce you get from a butcher, for example.
They do buy in bulk to get cheaper but they also have transport and storage costst, and pay to make their products look better.
