Or perhaps they understand the positive effects of fats -- dense energy, 
vital to every cell in the body; critical to nerves and nerve signalling; 
necessary for proper assimiliation to all kinds of vitamins, minerals and 
phytochemicals, etc., etc. Plus it tastes good! Weston A Price found that 
native peoples all over the world had some good source of animal fat in their 
diets.

Namaste, Liz
