Rather the opposite, in fact, which is kind of hilarious to me.

> Intake of total fat and each type of fat was associated with lower risk of total mortality...

It is hilarious, although I left it the lower risk of all type mortality since OP was specifically talking about saturated fat being linked to heart disease. But yes people should probably eat less pasta and more steak

Yeah. Lets all go on a Keto diet and sustain 400 million americans on steak. Do you people ever stop and think about the consequences of your diet?

I think it’s the number of people which is the problem. Also, there are not 400m Americans. Yet.

Keto is a high fat diet not a high protien diet. Replace "keto" with "Atkin's" and I have no issue with your comment, in fact i would agree.

Funny, if you flip to any recent thread about climate change, you're likely to come across someone advocating less steak and more pasta. Why? Producing meat is incredibly resource-intensive; cows are the biggest offenders. They literally shit greenhouse gas.

Which is not to say I don't enjoy a nice juicy cheezburger. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
