The food industry produces cream, minced beef, butter, bacon, sausages, ham, steak, pork chops,lamb chops, lamb mince,coconut oil, lard, beef and pork dripping.
The health industry recommends a Mediterranean Diet with a much reduced consumption of all of the above.

Farming and agriculture produces the foods you mention. The food industry by and large produces long shelf life high starch and sugar junk.

The health industry recommends by and large starch, grains and a diet based on over 50% of diet carbs. As promoted to diabetics. Check out the awful eatwell plate used by the NHS and DUK etc.

Whole fresh foods from the farm and sea is what we recommend, not a failed science experiment from the food industry.

With all due respect, I think you will find farming and agriculture produces a huge percentage (of it's total global production) of high starch food as well, distributed to the people in unprocessed form worldwide, or at least no more processed than mincemeat, cheese, butter etc.- eg. wholemeal flour, potato, other roots and tubers, corn and cornflour, beans and lentils in great variety - check out your local Indian supermarket, plus a multitude of grains. It seems that you do not recommend any of the above except perhaps in miniscule quantities.

I would not expect a low carb diabetic blog to recommend wholemeal flour, potato, other roots and tubers, corn and cornflour. They can be toxic in regard to blood sugar levels in diabetics, all carbohydrates turn into glucose with the starchy ones you cite being the worst ones for diabetics,
