This is the usual misinterpretation by people who haven't done enough
research. Native peoples eat the organ meats, which are high in saturated
fats, and essential fat soluble vitamins. Lions just eat the livers of
zebras, and leave the rest for the hyenas!  She's right about seafood, so
long as it's wild, and eggs if they're from free range cage free chickens, or
better wild birds.
