Do yer cooks actually understand why duck is so high in fat? Sugars about 6 cal./cc. Protein about 4; fats upwards of about 8 cal./gm. Duck can fly long distances due to high calorie fats.

Fat is very much less dense than water. And critter that floats on water will not sink, BUT rather float on water. When is the last time you saw a chicken fat blob sink in water? Never. A water bird full of water, weighs more. Full of fat weighs far less than water/cc., and thus can fly more and with less wing beats. Fat is light and full of calories.

That's the physics and nutritional facts about duck.
