I can see how that 10% might be vital to "borderline" cases (if I may call
it that). Maybe an explanation for how far that 90% has taken me will help
to show why I so quickly grow weary of the minutiae.

Perhaps this might help to explain why it is that I lack patience for folks
who claim to be confused about the 10%.  To me, it's so night and day
between pre-paleo and post-paleo, I've come so far that the other talk
seems like winning a free Mercedes in a contest but bickering with the guy
who delivers the car over the color of the floor mats.



***another thing, why are you (pretty derisively) calling some questions
"the 10%"? If fat is to make up 30 to 40% of the calories in our daily diet,
then isn't it more like the 30 - 40%? That seems pretty important to me. I'd
like to be putting the right fats into my body.

I have to say I don't appreciate the tone of these msgs. I haven't found
every subject on this list utterly fascinating but I don't therefore feel I
need to correct the writers on what their priorities should be, according to
me.
