    To be fair, things like alcohol abuse are major problems among Inuit communities these days (not to mention murder and suicide. Living in the northern Territories is pretty much the worst place to live statistically in this country). They've also got the same sort of problems as many other native communities these days. Ready access to tobacco and troutty modern food compared to their ancestors, combined with all of the usual social problems that have developed purely as a result of our treatment of them since white people first landed on their shores. I'd take any stats about their life expectancy these days with a grain of salt since I can pretty much guarantee that the numbers living their traditional life style with their traditional diet would be few and far between.

    Fair enough. The general point I was making still stands, though, regarding their diet. Hunter-gatherers don't tend to eat cooked chicken and beef from Sainsbury's (replace with whatever your local supermarkets are called ).

    Oh absolutely. If you're trying to replicate an all fat and protein diet without either eating some good organ meats or properly supplementing then you're probably in for some issues. Not something I'd just recommend someone try without doing some homework first.

    In Montana a lot of people hunt for their meat. If you don't hunt yourself, you inevitably know someone who does and thus almost everyone has access to fresh game. Elk and bison meat straight from the wild is really common around here. Bison burgers are fantastic.

    Moderately so. I'm not giving it up entirely if that's what you want to hear

    What are you down to? And yeah, I don't mean giving it up, I just mean... not having soda daily.

    Considering what you use to drink, that's probably massive. xD

    A 50% reduction? I'll give you a 50% grade. Which, I suppose, is a pass mark...

    you guys have to understand that I was at about 3 full cans + 1 full bottle of Mountain Dew a day for like ten years before that. xD

    That's some big progress. I'm proud of you Pike, even if BoB is only 50% proud. Stingy bastard.

    When I want healthy food to taste good I just drown it in cheese.
