SAMA HOOLE: Chicken fried in tallow has been food for centuries. Chicken fried in soybean oil is a chemistry experiment.

DR. RICHARD MACKARNESS: No sugar, no carbs . . . just meat, butter, and cream.

Here is a summary of the diet.  He recommends a protein to fat ratio of 3:1, whereas I've seen Sama Hoole point to a preferable 1:1 ratio of protein to fat. 

Eat Fat and Grow Slim, Dr. Richard Mackarness, 1958. 

Dr. Richard Mackarness published "Eat Fat and Grow Slim" in 1958, advocating a low-carbohydrate diet based on the eating habits of Stone Age people, emphasizing fats and proteins while opposing grains and sugars. The book became quite popular, selling over 1.5 million copies.

SAMA HOOLE: Your liver processes fructose almost identically to how it processes alcohol.

FULLFAT Skin Co. points out that,

Your liver processes fructose almost identically to how it processes alcohol.  Carnivore sidesteps it entirely. Swap juice for ribeye in those boxes? Your move.

SAMA HOOLE: The one that induces insulin resistance [seed oils], gives you the munchies, and forces the fat cells to get larger and spill out toxins?

1930 - 1% of American adults were obese. 2018 - 42.4% were obese. Over that time… Red meat has gone down 4.4% Sugar has gone up 38.2% Seed oils have gone up 1687% So what turned nearly half the adults obese? It couldn't be the novel highly processed and inflammatory fat that we introduced to the human diet over that period. The one that induces insulin resistance, gives you the munchies, and forces the fat cells to get larger and spill out toxins? No, of course not. Must have been the steak.

CHRISTENDOM QUARTERLY: It took the Catholic Church almost 1,500 years to build Western Civilisation, and Protestantism almost 300 years to destroy it.

Christendom -- the state's tacit and explicit support for and defense of the Church -- built Western Civilization. In this particular case, the Pietà was commissioned and paid for by Cardinal Jean de Bilhères-Lagraulas, who was an advisor to Louis XI and Charles VIII, both strong French monarchs whose beneficence towards the Church allowed the Cardinal's beneficence to Michelangelo. Without Christendom's explicit protection, the Pietà would not exist.

Decent summary.
