It's no coincidence that the modern Western diet is based on carbohydrates and hydrogenated oils. While an individual can choose to eat a high fat, low carbohydrate diet, our entire society cannot. This is a problem of scale. Our politicians made a deal with the agri-business devil to ensure (most) everyone is fed relatively cheaply. The toll for this deal is that some people end up fat and sick. I'm convinced this is known and understood; nothing will be done about it. It's left to the individual to adjust their lifestyle to suit their biology.
