research paper, but since it is only cartoon stuff for the masses he can get
away with it.  It's a simple fact that primitive man ate all the animl fat
he could get hold off, from mammals, fish, sea mammmals, eggs, lizards etc.
The exact ratio of SFA to MUFA would obviously vary from place to place and
season to season, but not hugely. 70-80% of calories from fat seems likely.

You seem to be totally missing the point that the most people do not have
available the animals, with their favorable fat profile, that paleo
populations consumed.  Feed lot pigs, chickens and steers have a much
different, and unfavorable, according to several sources favored on this
list, fat profile.  Wild megafauna, lizards, sea mammals, and increasingly
b/c of environmental degradation and over predation, sea food, are simply
not economically available to the masses.  70-80 fat in your diet from
feedlot pigs and steers is nothing like the diet available to paleo
populations.
