Because they’re running counter to big agribusiness and other evil government and corporate types, it piques my interest, but most of these people seem dangerously adjacent to “carnivore diet” weirdos. I’m vegan I’m not gonna use tallow dude. Coconut oil would be fine thanks.
Anyone smarter than me know the real score?
I'm gonna chime in here and say that while stuff like the keto diet has allowed dipshits to justify gorging on endless amounts of meat, I feel like more recent science that's not backed by big business seems to really push the fact that many traditional sources of fat are absolutely fine. If anything it seems kind of clear that processed carbohydrates are the bane of the Western diet and eliminating them as much as possible (not saying keto, just avoiding anything that isn't a complex carb) would do most people a big favor in terms of health and wellbeing.
I can say personally that I've been on keto for long periods of time and I felt much better doing it. The primary downside was that it felt like if you weren't dieting that you had to eat animal product in order to reach a subsistence level of calorie intake.
