People in North America do not enjoy organ meats to any significant degree,
so we need to bring the fatty acid ratio in line with that of paleo man by
other means. One step in the right direction for North Americans, who in
general tend to be big beef eaters, is by cutting off visible fats in their
meats.

We need to bring the fatty acid ratio as close to a paleolithic one as we
can by eating whatever we can.
