Feels like an intersection behind bro-science keto, toxic masculinity, and pure contrarianism. Maybe not every carnie hits all three notes, but it feels like they usually hit at least two.
Ketosis is obviously real, and I think the keto diet is even situationally useful, but it feel like the latest fad, with bro-science all over places like :reddit-logo: telling you how its the best thing to cure all your woes, trust us bro!
Toxic masculinity because well I'm a hunter, I crave meat! Meat makes the man! Women crave chocolate, men crave meat! Even some women get clipped by this, in an effort to be 'not like other girls'.
And the contrarianism just feel to me like those 'funny' bumper stickers saying stuff like 'for every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three!!!' Its the same shit of people rolling coal in response to dire warnings about climate changes. They will spend money to make their cars perform worse and burn gasoline faster, just to 'own the libs'. It doesn't matter that they're harming themselves, if they can stick it to the opposition.
Which is funny because 99% of the time they're just going to the supermarket and buying a clean mass of meat that's already been murdered, cleaned, and processed for them then wrapped securely in plastic and foam.
