Hey Kiwi,
Great article. I don't think the guy is telling us to eat lots of fat, but is making the point that we need it in our diet, which we do. This is one of the articles I read that made me decide to use only butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. I avoid vegetable oils.
I got sick by having too much fat and oil in my diet, I believe. I also had lots of protein, and that probably didn't help either. But now that I am on a plant based diet, I still eat some meat every day. But I have cut back. Maybe I am like a "Jeffersonian Vegetarian" - were meat is used as a condiment, and not the main source.
Collard greens are downright medicinal. Add some carrots and whole grain rice with gravy from free range beef - and it could be the cure. Just make sure you get your veges, that's important, I think.
