Rabbit starvation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rabbit starvation is the form of acute malnutrition caused by excess consumption of rabbit meat (and possibly other lean meats) coupled with a lack of other sources of nutrients.

Currently there are two commonly posited mechanisms for rabbit starvation:

  • Lack of fats in the diet.
  • Rabbit being comparatively low in some amino acids that human beings cannot synthesise themselves.
