well yes, we should be eating depot fat. that's the fat around the steak
which cordain tells us to cut off.

The only issue is whether there is too much omega 6 in the intrmuscular fat.
i doubt there is too much to make a huge difference, not in comparison to
cereals. tallow is about 3% omega 6 from what i can remember.

well it is actually. since the liver in most fish is comparatively larger
than in land animals as it helps with buoyancy, as does the oil. salmon, sea
trout, etc are all good source of oil and omega 3s. no need to pretend that
paleo's didnt eat fish, not even Amadeus would believe you on that one.

suggesting olive and flax as suitable paleo fat substitutes is just not
logical.
