I had the pleasure of seeing Sally Fallon at the WI grazing conference for 
a full day this year.  I'm pretty well satisfied that they have nailed down 
both anecdotal and scientific bases for an animal rich diet, and I know it 
can be done sustain ably on most of the planet.  Check the site out, even 
if you are vegan as there is a large section on fermented foods.
