What is a good ratio of animal to non-animal products?
I think it’s highly individualized. There is no perfect ratio that’s healthy for everyone. Even with the quality of the foods being equal (grassfed, free-range, organic, raw dairy, soaked & fermented, lacto-fermented, etc., etc.), not every person will do best on the same proportions of plant to animal foods or different kinds of animal foods (i.e. some people simply can’t tolerate dairy, even if it’s raw and fermented). Again, I’d recommend that people read The Metabolic Typing Diet if they’re looking for some further direction on *individualized* ratios of macronutrients. It makes far more sense to me than the method based on blood type. I think it’s given me an additional and valuable perspective on what to eat to balance my metabolism, in addition to the revelation about food quality and preparation from Nourishing Traditions.
