Well I'll have to talk to Loren some more about that when he gets back from
vacation. While I suspect that he is right about game animals ultimately
being the best food, keep in mind that to do that right you're going to
need to eat brains, tongue, eyeballs, genitals, and gut organ meats from
those game animals, plus suck the marrow, to get it right.
I believe Loren's group's current recommendations for those eating regular
supermarket meats is to eat fish at least a few times a week, and to drop
all use of vegetable oil (except olive oil), and that should level you out
well enough. Or so goes the theory.
I am generally agreed that free-range meats are better, and I do wish to
see more of those entering the markets. On the other hand, it remains my
firm belief that things like phytates, gluten, and high-test carbohydrate
are bigger threats to health than the skewed fat ratios in supermarket
meat. Surely they are a concern, but I'm not sure an autoimmune concern is
really there, is it?
There is also, to my way of thinking, such a thing as working too hard on
this diet stuff.
