a diet of reindeer and fish

Not many visitors come to this remote village on the Yamal Peninsula,

north of the Polar Circle, several hours by tractor or snowmobile

from the nearest road. And of those who do, few come for the cuisine,

which has a reputation for being monotonous to the extreme. But I am

attracted by the food and by a nutritional question: How come the

people here, who for long periods eat nothing but the meat from one

type of animal, are healthier than we are? It is what

Gadsby, writing for Discover magazine about the somewhat similar diet

of the indigenous people in Northern Canada and Greenland, called

" the Inuit paradox. "
