i'm still curious as to why you lied that this figure refers to the *total*
fat composition in any given animal. it has nothing to do with it. even Kirt
can see that.  do you lie often? well i know you do...

 >With the Kangaroo listing you *have* a complete carcass >analysis. What do
you want more?

its worth knowing about a few other animals dont you think?

 >You seem to defend a position that there was predominately >saturated fat
to be found in paleo food items. This is ridiculous. >You stand against a
large group of real scientists.
 >Not only Cordain,
im using cordain's figures for the 3 wild beasts his team analysed.  the
adipose has a higher saturated fat content than conventional beef.


  >And you -- just claim that skin fat is "so much" and
 >"very saturated". Nothing more. No numbers. No usage of the >actual data
found.
I'm using Cordain's figures :) might as well start there.

 >Not just defending always the same old opinion. Deal with the >data!
let's start with the SFA content of the wild beasts which Cordain has
measured. higher SFA than conventional beef.

wow, that's a big step. i wonder how much comparative anatomy you've done to
know this. oh..you've forgotten the adipose fat!!!


 >The skin proportion of smaller animals will even rise compared >to big
ones.
i bet you must have been shocked to see even the worthless roo has 1.5kg of
fat. quite a lot.  how will u live this down?

 >With all this I can't find any connection to support your theories >of
predominating saturated fats in the diet.
have a look at Cordain's data. higher SFA content in the adipsoe fat than
conventional beef.

 >Or the low PUFA percentages. Water animals have even >bigger percentages of
PUFAs.
nope. i never said that at all. the modern diet is definitely short of
DHA/EPA. i cant see it being short of LA..since pork fat is about 8%. no
problems there. Its the DHA/EPA to worry about.

you are entitled to believe that man evolved in the waterless wastes of the
african savannah, several million years without a ready supply of fresh
water. go for it. i don't.
