This is a serious question. I don't have the answer.
If the entire population moved to a ketogenic diet comprised mainly of animal fats and protein, over the next two to three generations, would the planet be able to produce and sustain that amount of animal life? This would include fish populations, poultry and ruminant animals.
I'm not convinced it could. atyh (npub1vyr…fy55) recently posted an estimate of land per human is roughly 1 acre. This means that the food burden per human would need to exist in one acre, or better said, the population density of animals would need to be at least the amount of animals one human uses for food per acre.
I don't know if that pencils out at all, or if human population would either need to decrease or have at least some percentage eating less nutritious food.
Depopulation brings with it a host of questions, as does the morality of feeding some humans less well.
