Story Time
I remember when I went to the beach with some family friends. They packed me an organic strawberry jelly and peanut butter sandwich. I ended up not eating it because I remained full from my previous meal before the beach. However, when we returned - the nice lady who had packed the sandwich offered to give some to her son-in-law’s toddler. She was allowed a single bite before he went on this tangent that sugar was not to be eaten by anyone. So I watched him make this big talk about how a keto diet and putting your body into ketosis was the ultimate goodoers job. As for the kid, I don’t know if he was putting his views on them or not but a keto diet is/can be dangerous. A kid needs natural sugars (glucose; normally referred to as brain food) to help develop their brain further. Ketosis is essentially putting your body into a type of starvation mode (regarding glucose) where it starts eating it’s own fat as a source of energy. Fat is not a grand brain food, our brain uses simple sugars far more than it uses fats making fats have a lesser role in brain function. Our body does not use it as a main source of energy for a reason. I know it is controversial to put a kid on a vegan diet because of propaganda and stories of kids dropping dead from eating too many plants... but people are pointing at those stories as others are putting their kids on keto diets, military diets, etc. and that is somehow deemed okay? It is sickening.
