Absolutely facinating! How did I ever think it was all-raw? I assume he was
eating raw when living "on the Eskimo" diet during his travels and
explorations.

Anyway, this is a big bombshell to me, that he was cooking it and not using
organs much if at all over the long-term. I'm taken aback, as they say ;)

Thanks for the detail and I hope you do get the articles on the web one day!

Could I crosspost your summary to the raw-food list?

Cheers,
