Pop down to the butcher and ask him to show you a carcass.
Ask him to take out the organs. The other areas are what's left.

The point is that you can't argue that organ meats are high in
saturated fats because clearly they are not.

Oh no you don't. I'm doing all the searching for figures here.
You are presenting emu as an alternative source of dietary fat.
So you tell me. What's the total carcass breakdown of protein and
fat in an emu?

I bet you a paleo-beer that the figures show something in the order
of 20% protein and 10% fat. I'll even go out on a limb and hypothesize
that the fat profile is *way* less saturated than the full-carcass
profile of kangaroo, beef or red deer; let's guess at S:M:P of 2:2:1.

 ...Richard.

p.s. eggs have more protein than fat and the fat is only 37% saturated.
