Then perhaps the whole thing is a distraction from...
If you stop eating the Standard American Diet and start eating a plant-based diet, you won't need drugs in the first place.
Dr. Atkins weighed 260 lbs. when he died with a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @Pat@qoto.org Standard american diet is like 85%+ plant based. Or does corn and wheat not count as plants? Stupid food pyramid has ruined generations now at this point.
Our diet is massively screwed up, and people should eat better overall. But tritely saying plant based doesn't do anyone any favors. It's trivial to blow out your blood sugar with plants.
Who knows if it will ever shake out of the loony area, but it wouldn't shock me if some people are absolutely better off with a meat/fat heavy diet vs the generally accepted.
