Vitamin D is fat soluble. Outdoor-raised animals produce vitamin D and store it in their fat. Eating fatty meat from outdoor-raised animals provides vitamin D.
Agreed. My opinion is that we need to eat less, higher quality meat. Don't get fried chicken for a snack, cook a pasture raised chicken roast and use the leftovers. Better for us and improves animal welfare.
This still might not provide adequate vitamin D. But I think the demonization of fat is part of the Vitamin D problem.
