Thanks for bone information.  It mentions Irish people who eat a high-meat diet.  I wonder if those were the folks in a study I read about.  Pairs of siblings from Ireland raised on an "un-American" diet--no processed crap, etc.  One sibling moved to the U. S. but maintained his/her eating habits.  It was determined that the siblings still in Ireland were in better shape overall because . . . they were more physically active.  The upshot was that maybe eating a lot of meat and fat was okay if  you exercised.  Hmmm. . . .
