Gary,

My previous post points out why simply moving to western meats and fats might be a bad idea.

Many societies besides the Inuit have and do thrive on native diets. The common factor amongst them all is a lack of REFINED carbs. I won't tell anyone to do without carbs. I certainly don't, but all the powdered grains, sugars, and HFCS we eat are simply not natural. I'm sure none of any of our ancestors' diets contained 50+% of carbs nor the quantity of refined sugars that we see today.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants!
