Does Filet Mignon have another name? Is it Tenderloin?

Filet Mignon is a tenderloin... Yep.

A turkey chicken fish? Only if you don't mind genetically modified foods...

Oh I also want to note; lean meat isn't ALWAYS the way to go. Oily meats like salmon with all those healthy Omega 3s and Omega 6s can be VERY VERY good for you.

Wow...that surprised me that even top sirloin is leaner...I would have lost plenty of cash betting on that one!!! It is sort of a urban legend then that evryone thinks filet is the leanest...even the "chefs" (f'ing Emeril, Bobby Flay) etc preach about it being the leanest thus wrapping bacon on it because it lacks that savory flavor others have from the fat marbling. I have been fucked by the Food Network...bastards.

Hell with it...fat ass ribeye is the only way for me...I like the marbled fat in my steak...I'm a freaking carnivorous bastard, no prima donna!!!!
