I am type O. Actually, I wouldn't say I am strongly attracted to RAF,
except during a 2 week-period when I was wildly attracted to... farmed
salmon (among other fishes), and a 3 week-period with 1 chicken/day on
average. Usually, I eat RAF at 1 or 2 meals a week: one or two egg
yolks or some fish in moderate quantity. Concerning dairy, when my
diet was still cooked, I used to drink 1 or 2 bowls of "raw"
pasteurized milk a day, but I didn't like cheese or yoghurt.

BTW, here is the repartition of blood types among a few populations (I
found it at http://members.aol.com/akaulins/expak/expakbld.htm):

Notice that the Japanese consume raw fish but not dairy, despite the
high proportion of B's comparatively to O's. Same kind of remarks for
Eskimos from Alaska. And also the amazing difference between Peru
indians and Blackfoot.
