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.

Of course, my favourites
are nuts or sesame and much of dark green vegetables
(all raw, no crust).
