With the ever growing popularity and success of the ketogenic diet, it becomes progressively more evident that a plant based diet is massively suboptimal for a not insignificant fraction of people.

Our ecosystem dying is also pretty suboptimal.

This has nothing to do with plant and everything to do with rampant prevalence of gut dysbiosis and harmful gut bacteria feeding on otherwise healthy fibers and carbs, as well as processed carbohydrate and sugar overconsumption plus insulin resistance driven by sedentary lifestyles, inflammation, etc.

Ketogenic diet is a band aid to both, not a solution, and plants are not the cause of either problem, either.

You can do a keto diet without meat.
