That is why, if you eat nothing but protein for an extended period of
time, you can eventually starve to death. <<

COMMENT:

No, you won't starve to death, calorie-wise. But if the rabbits are
jackrabbits or other hares with little body fat, if you eat nothing but
them, they are so lean that you'll get sick as hell from essential
fatty acid deficiency (plus deficiency of some other B vitamins).
Montygram's ignorant rants notwithstanding.  Add a little fish to your
rabbit or caribou and things go much better. As any Eskimo of the 18th
century could not doubt have told you, if you'd been listening.
