My point was that people are giving up an addiction because the addiction to fat is actually stronger. Do you think Americans woke up one day, realizing their love of sugar was very strong, but gave it up for something less enjoyable? That did not happen.

That's what happened with me. I've done the keto diet before. Your depiction of it does not match my experience. Yes, you crave fat. It's your main source of calories, so of course you'll start to crave it. But it's not an automatic thing; switching takes work, and fat does NOT satiate sugar cravings. It's two separate things. People doing a high-fat low-carb diet are a vastly smaller minority. On the whole, Americans are NOT waking up and giving up sugar. But all this is beside the point. What matters is the health effects of a diet. High-sugar diets correlate with obesity, diabetes, and a boatload of other health problems. High-fat, low-carb diets do not.
