Why Has Ketogenic/low Carb Diet Been So Popular Lately?

Because it is an effective treatment for one of the most common diseases, metabolic syndrome. It directly cures it through creating new mitochondria. IF is even better, and Peat approved.

Sure poors are forced by evil capitalists to eat ***t-load of PUFA, drink your soy oil or get whipped.

I don't think the popularity of soybean oil has much to do with "capitalists." Certainly not the free market. Soy now gets the vast amount of subsidies in the US. According to the following article, they get $3.6 Billion out of $4.7 Billion. Pork was a distant second, getting only $290 Million.

Soybean farmers get biggest chunk of U.S. aid

For whatever reason, soy subsidies have exploded in the US since the early 2000's. It used to be beat out by corn, other feed grains, and even cotton. Not anymore.

Sure is lucky (?) that the news on Corona Virus kept most news orgs from picking up on that UC Riverside study that concluded that Soybean Oil is unfit for human consumption (and probably not any other animal, either).

Yet another reason to only consume meat from ruminant animals, unless you can be certain that the animal's diet was appropriate and that so will its fat content

I agree that the fat from non- ruminant animals given soy and corn should be avoided( chicken and pork), but lean meats from these animals are pretty low in fat, so even with more PUFA as a percentage of their fat, the total amount of PUFA in, say, chicken breast, is pretty small. Eating lean cuts of chicken and pork and adding beef tallow, butter, cocoa butter, bison tallow, etc. to them should be pretty safe.

Of course, it would be better if the chickens and pigs weren't fed high PUFA foods in the first place.

Wouldn’t the toxins also be in the tallow?

I think so too.
