Re: How 'good for you' is squirrel meat?

Squirrel meat has roughly the same nutritional composition as any other 
type of game meat and tends to be fairly lean, that is, low in fat.  The 
fat content varies somewhat with the time of the year (for example, is 
higher in the fall as the animal is storing up energy for the winter), but 
is always fairly low.  It is a reasonable source of protein, iron, zinc, 
and most B vitamins.  As with all meats from wild animals, it should be 
thoroughly cooked prior to eating to destroy any pathogenic microorganisms 
or parasites that may be present.
