This "new science" (which was well established in the 1950s with regard to weight control, before the "low fat hypothesis" fad was pushed into U.S. policy), is not "funded by meat industry" (as if there was such an entity). If you want to chase down the rabbit hole of funding, look at statin research by big pharma while they grease the palms of the medical research industry. They would have you believe that cholesterol is the great satan, and that eating a piece of bacon will need to be chased by a handful of pills to negate teh lethal effects.And yes, I have restricted apples (loaded with sugar, NOT the apples of 100 years ago) and introduced bacon into my diet, with great improvements in my performance and health. Ancestral foods are the ones that produced the infrastructure of the world we have today, not the processed crap that sits in the aisles of your local grocery and convenience store. And certainly not "energy bars and drinks". They had plenty of energy off of simple foods, including meat, eggs and dairy, as well as healthy vegetables and low-sugar fruit.

Ah, yes. The new science! A lot of it funded by the mighty meat producers, who also control a lot of the FDA.
Does this new science say that fruit is not healthy because it has carbohydrates? Let me ask you, which is healthier: bacon or an apple?
Now these Keto diets suggest heavy doses of meat, along with lots of vegetables. But, over time, why not just get rid of the veggies (who needs them?). So, all we need to eat is meat! It's so healthy.
Does this new science track the effects of meat-heavy diets over decades? Because there is a lot of evidence to the contrary that they will have to overcome.
