Hi again list :-) Hi Ray, i don't have the latest version of your book - maybe you have fixed it there - but: I am missing in your book the recommendation of to "eat a lot of very small game, rodents,reptiles,small birds, blackbirds with some bones" to aquire more calcium in your modern implementation of a paleolithic ice age diet. Cow meat and pork rind alone won't do it. Small bones do? Again it's a modern implementation that shows drawbacks. I do respect the "sardine,kipper,fishhead soup" items as a modern add-on in attemting to get ingredients missing in certain implementations of certain ancient diets. Especially in the omega 3 fat topic. regards Amadeus ...who needs a lot of calcium in his bones after recovering from some kind of modern rhinoceros attack ... >Of course, my favorite is four and twenty blackbirds baked in a >pie(Pork rind crust).
