Aha, yeah, the keto hype is the pendulum swinging the extreme opposite way, and yeah there is a middle balance. I think keto is also an attempt to "cheat responsibly", because people have a hard time saying good bye to sweets, so all kinds of fancy keto sweeteners are promoted. But yeah I think it's eventually a bit futile, you're trying to fool yourself, and in the long run that doesn't work.
I think it is actually largely a psychological story. Food is like an addiction, a way of distracting yourself from the struggles of life. And addictive food (candy, snacks, fast food) is just the kind of drug that is easiest available to most people, and it's not illegal or necessarily looked down upon, even promoted in many ways (birthday cake). So that is why it's one of the bigger problems in society.
And the solution for addictions is not taking away the drug, because the desire is still there, and will eventually sip through in some other way. The way to deal with it is to look into the root cause of what is lacking in the life of the user causing it to try to fill up this hole in it's life with this drug. And then have a proper way of treating that, while also learning more about nutrition, because people have also just forgotten what healthy food is and how to make it.
