of fats in the diet. Wild game contains a significantly higher
quantity of Essential Fatty Acids compared to mass-reared
animals. As we are now aware, these EFAs contribute to reducing
the levels of cholesterol, unlike the average diet today which
contains the killer fats.
To receive a quality complement of amino acids certain

food are compensated by high levels of that amino acid in another
food. An example of a perfect balance being made from two
otherwise incomplete protein sources in grains and pulses. Hemp

Meat?
Although I do not eat meat, I am not against the moderate (once

for up to 2 million years. It is not for protein that I accept this

live, unpasteurized yoghurt and fresh deep sea fish.
It is virtually impossible not to get enough trace mineral
protein, provided you have enough quality easily absorbable juices
with live and unprocessed foods, as recommended in this book. In
fact, excess protein has actually been associated with many
