If you want to lose weight, go on a rabit diet, but ensure that you take protine tabs or you will go dumb and manipulative within a week. 😯

Why take protein tablets when rabbit is high in protein but have virtually no fat. So wouldn't one need a fish oil tablet or something before a protein shake?

Maybe I'm on the wrong track here but....I kinda got the impression that someone's wife is on a diet (is that correct Ranger?). Hence the remarks about "behaviour". A rabbit diet is usually leafy greens and not much else....

I can just imagine ICRCC with a little wiggly bunny nose 😆

Your right! 😳 I had a brain fart, it was protein poisoning that the artic shipwreck crew died of.

Stay away from Homesteading Today. I've found it to be very volatile. Any mention of making money, or turnin a profit at ANYTHING will get you severly chastized. Try this Rabbit-specific forum instead: http://rabbittalk.com/ . It has a section on Meat Rabbits. Very helpful folks that helped me for the 2 years I raised rabbits for personal consumption.

Funny they would react like that...Homesteads are farms and farms are farmed to make money. As self reliant as we can be, there are still things we need cash to buy, even for the most un-modernized (not sure if that's a word or not) homestead!

If you go on a diet of only rabbit your will eventually suffer rabbit starvation. This is an acute form of malnutrition caused by too much lean mean with a lack of other nutrients such as fat and carbohydrates. Rabbit starvation is also called protein poisoning. Just add some really greasy French fries to your diet and you will be fine.

On a more serious note, in the late 1880's there was a failed Arctic expedition. Out of 25 members only 6 survived. It is probable that many of the deaths were caused by the cannibalism of the lean meat of the already dead members. Now in a TEOTWAWKI event no food means mass starvation which in turn in some cases may lead to cannibalism. So does that mean we could see protein poisoning on a large scale? Does it also indicate that one could identify a cannibal by their insatiable need for fat?

Protein poisoning from eating people, that would be maybe after the 6 month mark or more considering how fat most people have become in N. America. An excerpt from a story that I read many years ago, “That woman there be a slow roast” So said a former cannibal about the portly woman in his transom. Or as the old whaler said “Der be a ten galloner if I ever saw one” meaning the amount of oil that he’d be able to render from the banker.
"So where did you get the oil for your lamp, and by the way wheres your wife?" 😀

ICRCC,
that was then, this is now. Everyone has way too much fat on them now, back in those days only rich merchants and royalty had that much fat.
So I do not think there is as much problems now eating the flesh of McDs customers.
