Does anyone know how rabbit meat (home raised/not fed soy) fits within a Peatish diet plan?

Based on Ray Peat's article Rabbit meat is not safe. Here is the quote
"In evaluating dietary fat, it is too often forgotten that the animals' diet (and other factors, including temperature) affect the degree of saturation of fats in its tissues, or its milk, or eggs. The fat of wild rabbits or summer-grazing horses, for example, can contain 40% linolenic acid, about the same as linseed oil. Hogs fed soybeans can have fat containing over 30% linoleic acid. [20] Considering that most of our food animals are fed large amounts of grains and soybeans, it isn't accurate to speak of their fats as "animal fats." And, considering the vegetable oil contained in our milk, eggs, and meat, it would seem logical to select other foods that are not rich in unsaturated oils." Ray Peat

jyb said:@Thomas: you don't necessarily need that much meat on a RP diet. Occasional beef liver from the butcher is good. On a daily basis, it's more about milk and cheese as a source of protein.
For fruit, orange seems to be the most important. I only ever do strained orange juice. I don't digest apple particularly well, and orange juice is very convenient.
Thomas said:Hi guys,
excuse please the stupid questions of mine. As I am a Ray P. newbee I really get more and more confused about what to eat!
I live very high up in the north. As high as Alaska only on the europian side. (Sweden) Everything in the supermarket comes pack in plastics and is usually only mainstream, for fruits there are only apple, oranges and some pineapple and banans. Forget about more. Meat there is pig and cow and all of that is packed and made soft with differend marinates and chemicals. Its a real hussle to find something clean. I might find a supplier for hunted stuff like moose and reindeer. What is R. Peat saying about them?
Cheers

I think your main focus should be on food you can easily digest and avoiding PUFA. Moose and Reindeer both are ruminants, so they are ok in RP book. But RP suggest that you always balance intake of muscle meat with gelatinous cut. Dairy is ideal. But you can eat meat until your stomach is ready for dairy. Quality of meat depends on it's freshness. You can use bones from commercial beef to make bone broth and you can skim off the oil from the top to get rid of possible PUFA from grain feed.
You can also try gelatin powder as protein source. You have to dissolve the powder in hot water before you consume that. Check if those gelatin powder are preservative free. Always start with small doses of gelatin powder to see if it agrees with your digestive system.
won't it taste horrible? coconut oil sweatness doesn't suit meat flavorFry the rabbit in coconut oil and call it good.
Cows have high levels of PUFAs in their system in summer too, it's important to winter kill. Locals that eat wild rabbit around here will NOT eat summer rabbit, say it carries a disease.
