I think I read somewhere that about 2% of the US population are vegan. I don't think that's enough to sustain a business. But they can be vegans eating the vegan side of an omnivorous diet.

Just as I eat on the ketogenic side of a much larger diet.

I remember when the first wave of low-carb came around, when we still called it Atkins. The low-carb diet waned as the covert ads pretending to be doctor written articles told us we needed carbs.

It got very difficult to find foods pitched as low-carb. We had no LC breads, ice creams, candies, and so forth. So we ate what we could out of the general diet.

We're fortunate enough now to be a big enough market for people to pitch products to. I can get keto bread in a grocery store made by Arnold. I can find low-carb pasta, brownies, chocolate made with stevia, and even low-carb ice cream if I look hard enough.

And I still read covert ads masquerading as scientific articles telling us how eating sugar will make us live longer, be healthier, fight dementia, and have a better sex life.

Just because the person signing the article says he/she is a doctor, nutritionist, scientist, or any other expert, doesn't mean he or she is, or that he or she actually wrote it.

I remember when “doctors” wrote articles telling us that science has proved that smoking cigarettes was healthy.

Now those same sham scientists are penning covert advertisements telling us to eat a plant based, low fat, high carb diet and to avoid meat protein because of the cow farts. In reality, the fertilize industry emits 100 times more methane than the livestock does. But they don't count that when making the comparison.

“There are three kinds of lies, lies, damn lies and statistics.” Mark Twain.

Look at old pictures from the 50s and 60s, before the low-fat, high-carb diet was promoted.

Obviously, they have been lying to us. Don't believe everything you read.
