Jean-Claude, I'm sorry, but that makes no sense at all! The raw fat of our
whitetail deer cools to a hard, waxy state. (In fact, I'm sure that the
early settlers must have found it indispensable for making candles!) When it
is cooked, it does melt and can be quite tasty, but when it starts to cool
off, it becomes quite unpalatable. In the mouth, the fat becomes very pasty
and sticky and coats the inside of the mouth and the teeth. I cannot imagine
how having too much saturated fats in my diet could possibly change that,
unless you are saying that saturated fats have some effect on body
temperature! Even if that were the case, it couldn't possibly affect body
temperature enough to melt this fat in one's mouth!

Sorry, Jean-Claude, but I'm afraid that I'm just not quite *that* dedicated
to the paleo regimen, yet. ;)
