Hi Elizabeth

Thanks, I feel sane again now :)

Personally, I think Cordain should be locked up for promoting people  
eat lean meat.  It is the single biggest mistake ever made in a paleo  
book!  God only knows how many people have experienced rabbit  
starvation trying to follow his recommendations and came to the  
conclusion paleo is wrong.
