definition of high fat diet

[Truman Prevatt <truman.prevatt@netsrq.com>]

The term "high fat diet" is in fact ambiguous.  Before we can praise or
curse "high fat diets" we need to have a definition of such.  If your
definition of high fat is, for arguments sake, "10% by weight of the
concentrate portion" and you fed 6 pounds of concentrate a day, they
that would be .6 pounds or 272.4 gm.  Now someone posted a diet of 2
pounds (908 gm) of fat a day.  This is 3 1/3 times as more fat than the
first diet, but they each may still be considered high fat diets by
different people.

We need to be discussing apples and apples rather than apples and
avocado.  I will go first - I consider the first diet above to be a high
fat diet - i.e. 9%  to 10% by weight of the concentrate portion of the
diet.  My max concentrate ration is 6 to 8 pounds a day.  Good hay and
grass make up the remainder (and the bulk) of the diet.

What do other people consider a high fat diet?
