nitrosamines in our gut. Furthermore, these unnatural meats
are typically laced with salt, high-fructose corn syrup,
grains, and other additives that have many undesirable
health effects.

With the Paleo Diet I encourage you to eat as much high-
quality real animal foods that you can get your hands on.
Obviously, the closer you can get to wild, the better off you’ll
be when it comes to the fatty acid profile and the nutrient
content of your meat. Game meat is not necessary for the
Paleo Diet, but if you want to be adventuresome, try some.
It’s nutritious and adds a unique flavor and twist to any
Paleo meal. Game meat is pricey (unless you hunt or know
hunters), and typically only available at specialty markets,
farmers’ markets, and certain butcher stores.
