Kirt, 10 g liver provide about the days vitamin requirement of
vitamin a.
Or course that's an average per day, and if a whole liver is eaten
on one day fresh, there should be a long enough pause after.
At about 10 times or more of the days recommendation, vitamin-a will
become
toxic,
from altering the bones to death.

I also recall that with some hunters (inuit) eating
liver was even taboo (probably as protection from that problem).

To the opposite (im a fat addict).
My point is, that a meat nutrition with 1kg/day still isn't adequate
because lacking fats. For a 3000 or 4000 kcal hunters day, that would
mean
the need of even double or triple that amount of meat.
Means doubling also the possible negative effects
(i
ron and protein 800 or 1000%).

Inuit - the only real meatatarians - do have access to
large amounts of fat by fish and by the very fatty arctic animals.

Shure they are. Esp. Fat, then organs/marrow, muscle to the least.
Humans need much higher energy to protein ration than animals provide.
(where is the 80%fat, 20%meat deer?).

Maybe that too, so why not phytochemicals and animochemicals.
