Absolutely amazing ThreadDrift. I start out thinking I'm reading about protein poisoning and end up reading about armadillos with the clap.

RE: Protein Poisoning. Take a look at what the late Dr. Atkins (LoCarb guru) says about Ketosis and Ketolosis. I wonder if, when eating too much lean meat in the wild, we are creating a problem with the RATIO rather than absolute amount of fat consumed. In any event, I think this for most of us will be a non-issue: In the most likely "lost" scenario we'd probably eat whatever we could choke down, and save being picky for the restaurant they take you to when rescued.
