I would not be the least surprised if we were to find out decades later there were Big Tobacco like efforts to suppress, as much as possible, all the health-related issues with many of the things pushed as the Standard American Diet (SAD). And not just for beef: other meats, dairy, and eggs. Everyone should bear in mind, especially when they have found some random Internet doctor that is claiming that a bullshit diet like the carnivore diet is "good for you", there was a time when (compromised) doctors would claim that smoking was "good for you", too. I would not be surprised if we found very sus funding for prominent people pitching the bro science...
This notion of beef tallow as a health food, though....LOL. Reminds me of the "paleo" people that were consuming massive quantities of bacon as some kind of health food. 🤣
Seems like many people will do nearly anything to justify eating things they already eat and want to keep eating....I've noticed many people on the "paleo" diet still consuming massive quantities of dairy even if that was supposedly something they should cut out of their diet. I suspect many on the paleo diet just wanted a permission structure to eat more meat and declare themselves "paleo".
