When you eat red meat do you choose the healthiest cut?

danrunsfast614 @danrunsfast614 (1396) • United States 18 May 09

I normally go for whatever is the cheapest, which is normally the fattiest, unhealthiest red meat. Do you choose your meat based on the health implications, or just go for the cheap stuff?
