Why would "keto" come under fire now? I'm pretty sure that diet already peaked and is on the decline.
However study after study shows that "keto" and IF (intermittent fasting) is probably the way to go. So now it's a pretty uphill battle. Seems like millennials are pushing for change more quickly and many massive corporations are changing directions, but slowly. So I think we will see a massive dietary change in next 20-30 years, but it's going to be a battle.

What?

Eh, I don't know about that. Some studies indicate that keto helps some people. But like every other diet, adherence is low. And for the most part, the evidence is that what most people need is to just eat a reasonable amount of something approximating real food.
IF is entirely unrelated to keto.

I'm extremely doubtful. I'm doubtful we'll even significantly cut the junk intake. I have no expectation that keto will actually become common.
I meant meat products, like sausages, bacon, ...

I'm talking about the impact of the diet in overall, e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1325029/

I'm not talking about keto but dietary changes overall.
So like everywhere else, then? Sugar in cured meats is not exclusively an American phenomenon.

I don't really understand your point. The fact that keto helps with diabetes isn't very relevant to a lot of the population.

? The topic was about keto being "under fire".
Not exclusively but definitely most prevalent in US

A lot of population, like 10%? [0]. And this is just one of many. It's not only form of help but prevention. Meaning, it's much healthier for people to do keto, than anything else.

And I made a comment on overall dietary change. We don't know what a long time on keto will cause, but I believe people are much more eager to experiment and see than they used to.
The diet became extremely popular in the early 2000's, but among the "fad diet" mainstream population. That peak was unnatural, and most of these dieters will fail at whatever the new diet is because they have unrealistic expectations and don't really follow a disciplined program.
The diet is becoming more popular from a group that has a more scientific approach now.
Also when they diet began to decline there ALREADY WAS a huge push from certain groups to discredit the diet. When Dr. Atkins died he was fat, but this is anecdotal, what is crazy is that his autopsy was released illegally without the families permission.
