Hi William, Thank you for your response. I am almost ready to settle for a good fantasy but if we stick with reality for the moment I think your response would be along the lines and in agreement with the statements in the following link, right? http://www.mercola.com/2002/feb/23/vegetarianism_myths_06.htm I am already eating much in accordance with the paleo recommendations/tradition as stated in my first post. I don't use hydrogenated oils in any form or vegetable oils with the exception of Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sauteeing. Recently started using coconut oil for sauteeing but I had a reaction to something I ate and I was afraid it had to do with the consumption of the coconut oil so I have discontinued it for the time being. I assume the EVOO is better than other vegetable oils because of the higher content of monounsaturated fatty acids and lower PUFA. Do you guys, the real paleo people of today, LOL!!, use EVOO for cooking or Coconut oil or do you use animal fat? Where do you buy goose fat? Again, Thank you for your help, William. Karen
