I don't think we need to eat a lot of meat, per se, but the fat is useful for some people. You can get strips of fat free at most groceries, even health food stores, because they trim it off of their meat. You could eat this fat raw if you wanted, but I think light cooking is safe (medium or less), as long as you eat the food immediately and don't re-use the fat. Some of the native American tribes lived on pemmican, which is made from raw lean meat dried in the sun and rendered animal fat. They did not have modern diseases, and the pemmican would remain fresh for years (or decades) if stored properly.
PUFA oils are much more dangerous, IMO, even raw. While using raw flaxseed oil years ago on a raw diet (including raw meat), I got sick easily when exposed to cold air/water, and sick people. I also stayed sick longer, too. this made sense when I realized that omega-3 fats were immune suppressive and probably worse than omega-6 fats, although it's best to keep them both at very low levels probably. |
