It helps that we’re right. That it can’t be bad to eat what humans have eaten for 2 million years.

But 2 recent things I’ve looked at were studies done a few decades ago and shelved because they didn’t get the “right” answer, but were recovered recently and published showing the lipid hypothesis was wrong and the cause of metabolic disorder was carbohydrates

They were suppressed in the 70s and 80s, now they are published. Dietary guidelines in Australia (one of the biggest wheat exporters) now allow low carb for treating type 2 diabetes.

I do believe we’re watching a change in consensus (which as always is progressing one death at a time - perhaps it’s good that the other side is committed to a metabolically dangerous path)

    There are multiple battles here

    1. Low Carb is a safe health tool
    2. Meat isn’t dangerous
    3. cholesterol is not a disease
    4. Seed oils have a huge impact on health, insulin resistance
    5. PBF have a inflammatory cost on the body

    I think the best thing we can do is demonstrate what works for us, and be friendly resources to others if they have questions.

    The Anti-Meat movement is a fascinating world to research, it’s not just economic interests, we have some faith thrown in there too

      There’s also so much money in the chain between a farm full of wheat to a box of highly processed “food”, compared to the simple path of meat varying from cheapest self harvested, self butchered, self stored through to using a professional butcher who buys from a meat packing plant through to the most expensive - supermarket meat

      Money plus religion versus reality
