Do you mean that bacon and butter are part of low carb diet? I would not choose them even if they were.
I believe one needs self-control also for not getting emotional about LCHF. Gandhi's politics of satyagraha (non-violence) also disturbed the British colonial authorities. Preaching low carbs for the sick can also have interest for food industries to win back the lost sheep of the fast food industry by back door. It is quite common nowadays to hear about "social responsibility" of the big enterprises! It is part of their publicity.
Gandhi's politics of satyagraha (non-violence)
Thread derailment time. Hopefully not too much...
I thought Satyagraha was all about a quest for truth, or the struggle to remain faithful to the truth? I'd like to know as one of my favourite pieces of music is from Satyagraha by Philip Glass. Not that the philosophy that inspired it would really change my appreciation of it, but I'd like to think I haven't been spouting nonsense on the few occasions I've been asked what the hell I'm listening to!
Back on topic, I can't tell if you are looking for a pros/cons argument of LCHF or are deciding it it's applicable to you?
Re the idea that LCHF is some kind of marketing ploy, I find that highly implausible. If you can think of a particular industry which would benefit and why, I'd be interested in your theory.
I'm not agreeing that its a Marketing ploy but I have seen a lift in low carb items like breads and cauliflower rice - you can buy bags frozen in Morrison's.
