Table 2 refers only to the fatty acid composition within biceps femoris
muscle.  Hence it is titled "fatty acid composition of biceps femoris
muscle." ie intermuscular fat, as I said.  the fat contribution of this is
small compared to the overall amount found in adipose fat, in a fat beast.
maybe 10 times less.

 >Obese animals exist only for short times of the year (before >hibernating
or egg-watching).
incorrect. an animal is obese for a certain period. some animals are always
fat, specifically marine mammals. different animals have different seasons
and times, hence hunters moved to take advantage of the best fat options.

 >Obese animals are farmed animals.
farm animals are not farmed anymore for fatness, as leanness is the rage. it
is uneconomic. a wild beast in good nick wil be fatter than a farm animal.
thus the elk gaining 200 pounds of fat over a season.

 >Probably obesity in humans too comes when humans eat like >they were farmed
humans.
that's true. farm animals used to be fattened up on corn. high carbs.


 >Too much DHA ad EPA (above 12% of calories) depletes the >brain from AA
interesting. can you provide a reference? at 2000 calories that would be 22
grams of combined DHA/EPA, which is surely sufficient.
