I saw an interesting documentary once about the diet of Eskimos. (As in, 
native americans inhabiting places where it's always snowy.) Their only 
source of food is fish, seals, and so on - basically fatty meat. One of the 
investigators lived on such a diet for a couple of years and found very 
little unhealthy effects.

This has been an interesting anecdote, not science. :-)
