which brain does Alex have to listen to ? just teasing! my brain tell
me
that your brain is thinking wisely. i totally agree with your
hierarchy
of foods. i will keep dairy  and grain as a last resort and cooked
items
as the very last . in Animals products , i will privilege the most
accessible (at least in nature, in the store might be different) eggs,
insects; shellfishs, crabs and shrimps over Tuna; birds , reptiles,
and
small mamals over big  mamals etc... but it is my brain!
