Obvously, you have never tried... Bone marrow is one of my preferred parts
(raw). It shouldn't be very difficult to break a bone and extract its marrow,
even with the simplest stone tools.

Moreover, I am not claiming that bone marrow is the only tissue that contributes
to a low saturated fat intake (in percentage). It seems that the fat composition
of wild animals is different from the fat composition of domestic animals,
although I don't have numerical data to support this claim, and, until the
article has been published, I have to trust Loren Cordain's post on the
Paleodiet list.


Best wishes,
