Highest quality would be the raw fat from a freshly
killed wild animal.  Since I can't stomach raw meat I
settle for a blend of raw free range eggs and raw
coconut. That's the the best I've been able to come up
with, and I feel pretty comfortable with my decision.
If anyone has a better alternative I'd love to hear
it.

I'm surprised you haven't seen the film. I think the
Inuit break the mold regularly possibly due to the
extreme enviroment they live in.  I was struck by how
difficult simple day to day living was for these
people.  They were hungry, and once that animal was
dead, they ate.

Yup, I just haven't figured out a way to cook meat
without using, relatively' high temperatures.

If you eat the meal on your website without much
deviation, I think your diet is more than exceptional.
