      If you eat nothing but rabbit or other lean protein your body can essentially starve because it’s not getting enough fat and carbohydrates. But eating rabbits in addition to a diet that has fat from other sources makes the entire meal plan balanced enough to where the rabbit is a helpful/important part of the balanced diet.

      Yes and no, it is a thing, but it’s more prevalent when discussing wild game, especially in later winter months, and it isn’t just rabbits either, it can also apply to deer and caribou. It is much less an issue with domesticated rabbits, as they will be fattier when butchered.
