I have struggled with my weight my entire life, but primarily because I followed conventional wisdom and ate according to the government’s food pyramid - - lots of carbs and relatively low fat. Each year I continued to add pounds despite eating the “correct” way. Now I am following a ketogenic diet - - not just an Adkins-like diet of high protein - - but one in which fats are the primary source of calories. I have forced my body to burn fats because I eat very little carbs and only moderate amounts of protein. It is working for me to injest lots of fats so I am not surprised by this article.

For an individual, it’s like every specie of bird, each has its own specific diet. To have government collectively assign diets is murder in the know and punishment and a psychology of accepting government threat, day in day out, on a daily basis, with lawyers sueing you for eating wrong in their views.

I have G6PD (similar to sickle cell) and low metabolism, and my diet is very specific, but, guess what, the government is like the military, until you get the “profile” you must eat and die like everyone else... and, oh, with universal health care, do not expect to get a “referal” any time soon if they do not like your face.

The bureaucratization of our daily lives is murder and concentration camp mentality.
