1) What is the threshold percentage of fat to protein that prevents rabbit starvation? Today I've been looking at the fat content of Fish and Ducks, and they're like 6% to 9%, about 10 times less than the 80% fat promoted by Aajonus.

2) What's the deal with rendered suet? I thought this was the "raw" paleo forum Smiley Does the saturated fat not oxidize? What about the omega 3's? Why not just dry it along with the meat?

Rendered suet is not recommended on a rawpaleodiet - however, some people find themselves in awkward social situations where they find it easier to compromise by eating rendered suet rather than the genuine raw version.

Re amounts of fats:- I think 60% calories as fat would be needed with zero-carb(?) - maybe as low as 40%?

Ugh, sorry the 6 - 9% values were grammes, though from another site peking duck with skin seems to be around 60%/40% fat to protein in weight.

Actually, does "80%" refer to grammes or calories?
