If you were going to eat wild game in an effort to be more true to a
paleolithic lifestyle, you would need to make sure not to just eat the
muscle meat, but to also be eating the brains, tongue, layers of fat in the
gut and around and in the organs, sucking the bone marrow, eating the
eyeballs, etc. to get extra fat, just as much hunter/gatherers will do.
(The muscle of wild game is very low in fat but most hunter/gatherers seem
to go out of their way to extract as much fat as they can from their kills).

This in one way should argue in favor of modern cattle; to get the precious
fat you need for health and well-being, you don't have to eat brains and
eyeballs and suck marrow and such, which is all a good bit of work and kind
of unpleasant (although you could train yourself not to find it unpleasant,
I'd rather not myself.)
