it all depend on what you call meats ,if they are mostly muscles not a
surprise .
In organs or animals eaten whole you will find those nutrients .
Adrenal glands for ex have the highest concentration of vit C in a body to
the point that tribes from northern canada were sharing them between the
members of the tribe to prevent scurvy in winter time , adrenal glands are
not commercialised and are tiny like a big thumb nail for a cow .
that is also why peoples when not forced are not pure carnivorous ( the
inuit were not either in summer time )
also to not forget that nutrients are also produced in the gut by the
microoragnismes that live there. we are not only what we eat but also what
we shelter.
the human body is an association of many species , an ecosystem on his own .
