I have the 1996 3rd ed. of the self-published Neanderthin.  Not only does Ray describe routinely eating 8 strips of uncured bacon for breakfast (p. 84-85), he also promotes the eating of pemmican (p. 65) and writes:
"Fat consumption. A commo mistake made by neophte hunter-gatherers is trying to limit fat intake. This will only result in extreme hunger and fatigue ... If you have a high-energy day planned, have more bacon (uncured) at breakfast.  If you feel drained during the day, use a high-fat snack such as nuts or pemmican to boost your energy." (p. 61)
