And I know you weren’t promoting keto, but a lot of keto newbies still believe fat is bad and just to load up on protein, and it never works for them and sometimes can damage their kidneys. Humans adapted by eating a lot of fat. It’s only been in recent millenia that we’ve had access to carbs and until a few hundred years ago, peasants didnt’ have enough money to consume enough calories to get fat no matter what type (fat/protein/carb) they ate so it didn’t matter.

Thanks! I meant to include that. After spending half a century of cutting fat off of meat, we now find out it was all BS, but it’s still hard to shop for fatty cuts and bring ourselves to WANTING to keep the fat on the meat as we eat (at least at the beginning). And yes, if you take a steak that is originally fatty, you can easily change it from 20% protein to 50% protein. In fact, there are recorded accounts of eskimos throwing the lean meat from their kills to their dogs, because it was so unhealthy for them (and, of course, saving the fat for themselves).
