I was worried people would think that, but if I posted links to present evidence, I ran the risk of convincing them so they wouldn’t vote it up!
All I’ve eaten in the past three weeks is: pork belly, butter, egg yolks (and a few whites), cheese, sour cream (like a tub every three days), ground beef, bacon fat (saved from cooking bacon) and such. Now, that’s no proof about the medical claim but I hope it’s an indication that I’m not just bullshiting.
But for a few links:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19179058 (the K2 in question is virtually found only in animal fats and meats, see http://www.westonaprice.org/abcs-of-nutrition/175-x-factor-is-vitamin-k2.html#fig4)--the pubmed is on prevention of heart disease in humans

http://trackyourplaque.com/ -- a clinic that uses K2 among other things to reverse heart disease
note that I am not trying to construct a rational argument but to convince people that I do hold this belief. I do think a rational argument can be constructed but this is not it.
Not just hold the belief but eat that way even more consistently (more butter and less sour cream just because tastes change, but same basic principles). I’m young and didn’t have any obvious signs of heart disease personally so can’t say it “worked out” for me personally in that literal, narrow sense but I feel better, more mentally clear, etc. (I know that’s kinda whatever of evidence, just saying since you asked).
Someone else recently posted their success with butter lowering their measurement of arterial plaque: “the second score was better (lower) than the first score. The woman in charge of the testing center said this was very rare — about 1 time in 100. The usual annual increase is about 20 percent.” (http://blog.sethroberts.net/2011/08/04/how-rare-my-heart-scan-improvement/) (Note: I disagree with the poster’s reasoning methods in general, just noting his score change.)

This was about a year ago: do you still hold this belief? Has eating like you described worked out?

There was a recent health symposium that discussed this idea and related ones: http://vimeo.com/ancestralhealthsymposium/videos/page:1/sort:newest.
For those specifically related to heart health, these are most of them: http://vimeo.com/ancestralhealthsymposium/videos/search:heart/sort:newest
