Isn't it just.

Thanks for getting back so quick. Did he mean lower when compared to todays
typical diet (full of transfatty acids) or just low? I would assume that
compared to the domesticated animals we mostly eat today that paleo wild
animals would have less fat (you don't often see a fat wild animal). But then
the nuts and seeds would have a high fat content. Of course it would be
another matter if one was an Inuit. Do/did they eat the blubber or use it just
for lighting and things? And then of course all that lovely oily fish. Just
trying to get a good perspective on all this.
