The above text reports from the expedition and is very enthusiastic,
how the 31 men (and 1 girl) lived on a meat only diet.

I wondered, why they didn't end up in "rabbit starvation".

I came to the conclusion then the "game meat only" expedition must have
plundered the carcasses for fat, leaving lean parts behind.
As the text suggests in some parts:

Some parts are interesting how the fat was searched, eating even dogs:

Still it may be a practicable idea to use body fat instead of eaten fat ;-)
And thus leave fat.

Meatatarians may understand, that i will use high protein plants or cheese
if i once attempt to loose fat.
As came to my concionsness recently, it's *not* the nuts, which are high
protein plants. They are only dense and high protein per weight.
But otherwise perfectely equaled out between protein and caloric supply.
Vegetables are the high protein plants (per kcal).
