Marshall,
The eskimos are eating mostly raw, organically produced meat/blubber and
living in very cold climates. This necessitates a higher metabolic rate for
increased body heat which is produced by those foods. If you ate their
typical diet in more temperate climates you wouldn't live that long. Also,
they aren't eating bacon, cheesebugers, hotdogs, sausage, and other fatty,
cooked, and processed meats full of nitrates, nitrites, coloring agents,
flavoring agents, antibiotics, rodent hairs, fecal matter, and other
non-nutritional additives. Eating raw meat offers the body enzymes capable of
digesting the meat, and other vitamin/mineral and protein substances not
destroyed by heat, ionizing radiation, antibiotics, and other preservatives.
Go ahead, eat all those high trans-fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol laden
meats.... just don't complain when you're told by your cardiologist you need a
triple bypass.
