I'm not-- Sally said that animal products, mostly insects, comprised 10% of

the Bantu diet (some subsections of the Bantu drank milk though, which would

have had some more). I think the remainder were frogs.

The figures Mike posted for insects were considerably lower in fat

than the 55% figure WAPF claims somewhere... but say insects are 50% fat and

they

comprise all 10% of the animal foods, without knowing the fat content of the

plant foods, assuming they didn't have high pufa foods, it doesn't seem the

insects would push them over 15% or so.
