>It's weird that there is such a stigma surrounding keto.

Consider an average grocery store and restaurants. Now make all the aisles which are not remotely keto friendly empty. What amount of of the grocery store is now empty? Pretty significant right?

What percentage of society suddenly is unemployed? It's likely depression level unemployment. Most of these workers are unemployable elsewhere. So we have MadMax society incoming.

Also what happens to society in a scenario where everyone stops eating carbs? There's literally nowhere near enough farmed animals to ever satisfy that demand.

So, your theory is Keto is being suppressed to avoid a modern-day societal collapse?

That's a pretty serious intellectual leap.

That would be putting words in my mouth, but I guess ill be getting my downvotes none the less. I'm quite negative already for sharing my opinion.

Im not accusing you because I dont know, if you wouldnt mind sharing why you would downvote my post.

>That's a pretty serious intellectual leap.

The point I was replying to was the weird stigma against keto. Stigma being a suppression.

I was never alleging the US government is censoring speech on keto diet or really any diet.

> Stigma being a suppression.

Actually, IMO, the stigma comes from the over-commercialization, lack of reliable [mass] information, and "silver bullet" preaching in regards to Keto.

It's not targeted, specific suppression, it's the "buy my course about Keto to solve all life's ailments!" that gets annoying and pushes people away.

Note: personally not a Keto fan or critic — just don't quite care, because of reasons listed above.
