>But you can find a *total* fat analysis, including subcutaneous, >bones, marrow and organs too. Like in Figure 2, total fat of >deer. Table 2 refers only to the fatty acid composition within biceps femoris muscle. Hence it is titled "fatty acid composition of biceps femoris muscle." ie intermuscular fat, as I said. the fat contribution of this is small compared to the overall amount found in adipose fat, in a fat beast. maybe 10 times less. >Obese animals exist only for short times of the year (before >hibernating or egg-watching). incorrect. an animal is obese for a certain period. some animals are always fat, specifically marine mammals. different animals have different seasons and times, hence hunters moved to take advantage of the best fat options. >Obese animals are farmed animals. farm animals are not farmed anymore for fatness, as leanness is the rage. it is uneconomic. a wild beast in good nick wil be fatter than a farm animal. thus the elk gaining 200 pounds of fat over a season. >Probably obesity in humans too comes when humans eat like >they were farmed humans. that's true. farm animals used to be fattened up on corn. high carbs. >Too much DHA ad EPA (above 12% of calories) depletes the >brain from AA interesting. can you provide a reference? at 2000 calories that would be 22 grams of combined DHA/EPA, which is surely sufficient. andrew
