We who choose to eat fat for fuel are in a small minority, and fighting the USDA Dietary Guidelines, which continue to demonize meat and saturated fat despite the fact that there is no evidence that meat causes heart disease, cancer, or any other major illnesses. The Ancel Keys debacle of the 50s has turned to concrete: eat grains! avoid meat! This was bad science. A high-carb diet--at least the way Americans are told to eat it--is highly correlated to the huge increase in obesity and diabetes, because as a nation we have a giant insulin problem. It's not hard to see what has happened, as our alarming weight gain began shortly after the dietary guidelines appeared around 1980.

Nonetheless, nutritionists continue to get trained that a high-carb, grain-based diet with limitless vegetables and fruits, and no limits either on trans fat vegetables oils, is healthy. The American Diabetes Association has (finally) admitted a keto diet works.

Americans are trying their darndest to be thin eating lots of "low fat" carbs and failing. miserably. A vegan diet is also, clearly, unhealthy--but social media has made it even more trendy. And so the nutrition "controversy" rages on. The scientific and government establishment isn't ready to admit they were wrong.
