  • Hmm…

    The ketogenic diet is not considered a benign, holistic, or all-natural treatment. As with any serious medical therapy, it may result in complications, although these are generally less severe and less frequent than with anticonvulsant medication or surgery. […] Supplements are necessary to counter the dietary deficiency of many micronutrients. […] Like many anticonvulsant drugs, the ketogenic diet has an adverse effect on bone health. […] In adolescents and adults, common side effects reported include weight loss, constipation, dyslipidemia, and in women, dysmenorrhea.

    Sounds like you’re right, this diet is something that should be done for specific medical reasons, with professional guidance and with specific goals in mind:

    The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate dietary therapy that in conventional medicine is used mainly to treat hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children.

  • There is an excellent documentary series on Netflix called The Toys That Made Us which covers a lot of these. The Star Wars episode was very interesting, it gives you a look at the wheeler-dealer moneymaking side of the franchise (and some of the early toys are hilariously bad).

    Some of it is kind of cool, and produced some genuinely enjoyable cultural icons… but also a lot of it was very manipulative, and you end up realizing how much of this cultural period was manufactured, packaged and sold to us through TV.

    Yeah, well, that’s just like, your opinion man.

    In all seriousness though, I’m not saying that RAM is effective in any measurable way. I’m saying that it’s part of the SOP and helps explain some of what people experience as apparently inconsistent behavior from the TSA.
