About the breast milk: people who make the argument that breast milk is full of saturated fat and therefore saturated fat must be good for you, somehow never make the argument that breast milk is full of sugar and therefore sugar must be good for you. In fact, often those same people argue that sugar (whether processed or natural) is evil.
People in traditional societies do not eat diets that are loaded with saturated fat. If they do (the Masai come to mind) they also have an extremely active lifestyle so that they remain very thin and they still die young. I think I have said it before in this forum, but if you want to know what healthy eating is, you can look at what you think some ideal prehistoric person would have eaten millennia ago, or you can look at what centenarians eat right now. They certainly do not eat lots of meat and dairy. They do eat their veggies.
