thanks! and everyone is still the consensus to eat fatty meat?
Elk and deer don't have enough fat on their whole body to make a hamburger.

Out of the 35 pictures of a deer being skinned at the following link, about 10 seem to show significant quantities of visible fat (13-15, 18-21, 25, 27, 30, counting from the top down):http://www.gutpilestyle.com/ForumSMF/big58cals-critter-cleaning/skinning-a-deer-cleaning-a-deer/?PHPSESSID=5ddb9091a203a2d219bd8f8e25956e6e
Anyone else subscribe to the Paleo Diet blog? See the latest post? Cordain still hasn't reversed what he's said about fat...especially sat fat. He's all for canola and flax and says to choose the leanest meats possible. Thoughts?

Just today I came across a paper indicating that the French, who have low rates of heart disease, get 15% of their calories from saturated fat and about 40% from fat of all sources, of which butter is the biggest contributor:http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayFulltext?type=1&fid=930936&jid=BJN&volumeId=81&issueId=S1&aid=930924I think Cordain is just having trouble shaking off the "fat is bad" brainwashing, which he's probably been exposed to since before I was born in 1960.
There is almost no fat on game animals here except black bears. Elk and deer don't have enough fat on their whole body to make a hamburger.

Is that 15% of total calories or 15% of fat calories?
