Evaluating Nutritional Benefits of Foods In a departure from his usual and highly popular westerns, author Louis L'Amour wrote a novel in 1987, Last of the Breed (Bantam Press), in which a military pilot of Native American ancestry is shot down over the former Soviet Union and is formed to use the survival skills of his ancestral culture to escape his enemies On the rare occasions when he is able to trap and kill an animal for food, he selectively eats the fat, not the meal. Based on your reading of this chapter, what is his reasoning for doing so?
