The point is
> simple enough: paleo meats tended to be lean

no they don't, as i explained at some painstaking length to Amadeus, since
nearly all animals must fatten up at some point in the year to account for
lean times ahead or mating/nesting behaviours. they are indeed lean at some
times, but they are hunted precisely when they are fat. this is not a
difficult concept. the balance of omega 3/6s I grant is likely to be
somewhat different, but the amount of omega 6s will still be far less than
in most cereal grains. The logical way to balance this is doing what paleo
man actually did to get his omega 3s and eat fish oils from flesh and liver.
if your diet is 50/50 land vs sea creatures it will be pretty well balanced
in terms of fatty acids.
