Is Jennifer a Wolverine in her spare-time?
super powers where always the best case scenarioafter over 4 years I have much better appetite control which always seemed like a superpower
Nope, not a Wolverine, a mountain climber:
It’s all about the altitude…and living on the edge

@heretoday I am Pufa avoidant! Best noticeable change is I don’t sunburn. I work outside and don’t use sunscreen. I’ve been low ish Pufa for along time before I found rays work. WAPF paleo ish, vegetarian ish for 20 years but ate tons of nuts. Lots of avocados etc. I would get sunburns if I wasn’t mindful about building my tan and sun tolerance…. Now 4 years into Rays work. It took me and probably others that came from meaty carnivore ish way of eating along time to rap my Pufa filled brain around the idea of lowering pufa. I just thought well I’m not cooking or adding seed oil to my food 3 meals a day so I’m good right? Idk I think it pays off to make the extra effort to lower animal fat as well and those lowering more Pufa. Some of those yummy cheeses and ice cream I just don’t have the metabolism yet to utilize that much fat.
Same here but for me, it was getting my vitamin D level up. I used to burn easily and chalked it up to having very fair skin, but now that I maintain a minimum vitamin D level of 50, I don’t burn, however, I do use a natural zinc sunblock when I’m climbing because my skin looks and feels much healthier, i.e., smoother and softer without a tan.

Not too worried about the pufa in eggs or meat though.
I choose free enhanced hens to avoid too much LA (W6), the bio-kind or free grounded.
Be - producer identifier - bio (or free)
Be for Belgium - xyz354567 - 0 (bio)
0 = bio
1 = free enhanced
2 = from hangar (close but with minimum delimited space)
3 = industrial chicken coop (very limited space). Reserved for bakeries and industrialists.For meat I prefer duck, very young poultry (not yellow skin, otherwise it has been fed with corn), lamb, ground beef. Sometimes white fish if not a predator like haddock, or a third of shrimp package (150-200 g / 3) in a raw vegetable salad (corn salad) with half an apple and a seasonal fruit.
Seldom pork sausage.
I try to avoid cattle fed with corn or soy. -
Chicken Farming Method (Mode d’élevage)
0 = Organic
1 = Free-Range (en plein air)
2 = Barn (raised on the ground, in a shed, with an appropriately area)
3 = Caged (only for pastry and industrial purpose)

With chickens and eggs it's probably best to keep your own if possible and then feed them non-crap. Dr. Peat once mentioned in an interview that some farmer raised pigs and fed them non-crap, I think he mentioned potatos, fruit and coconut. And when they had the meat tested it was as low in PUFA as beef. I would guess it's the same with chicken. If you don't feed them the typical PUFA food, it will reflect the PUFA content in their own fat tissue and the eggs.
I'm not sure organic makes that much of a difference in that regard, because they are fed organic crap instead of conventional crap. But at least they have a chance to eat some worms or insects once in a while when they are outside instead of some cage.
Edit:
He also mentioned he would eat 4 or 5 eggs a day when he was in Mexico, because Mexicans feed their chickens leftovers from their own food. But he wouldn't eat more than one egg in the United States.I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in.

This is reflected in the unusually high concentration of short-chain fatty acids in their fat which in turn contributes to the saturated fat intake of the islanders."

Yeah with store bought once or twice a week is plenty.
Fresh eggs give you immediate energy and digest well - a world of difference to the point that they seem to be different things. They are great if you can get them and also great for baking breads, pastas, etc. -
I try to avoid it but I'm not stressed about it. If I eat at someones house and I suspect there's a lot of PUFA present in the foods made I just eat a teaspoon of coconut oil or some vitamin E.
