I do blame people who try to create a conspiracy out of this tragedy to further their own ends - as if the AMA hires hit men.
I assume you will continue to believe as you do without the "proof" you require of me. That is the nature of conspiracy theorists. By the way, it is impossible to prove a negative, that is, you cannot prove something - God or a conspiracy - does NOT exist. That is the nature of logic.

After the switch to white rice, many cultures have a hard time getting rid of even white rice. What people don't notice is the transition to larger and larger amounts of fat and animal products as people become richer as is happening now in china and india. Instead of just eating animal products monthly or weekly, the new middle class is now able to eat animal products every day and 3x a day. Many countries already transitioned to industrial food and large amounts of animal products. When I was a kid growing up in asia, people could already eat animal products 3x a day and there was already many cases of diabetes as has happened with my maternal grandmother who was obese and also had heart disease. I would guess that my maternal grandmother used to be skinny when she was in china. My mother was also skinny when she was young. People who give up oil and animal products will always be painted as extreme by the mainstream.

It is no better than traditional medicine (and probably worse, becasue there is little regulation) and most practitioners that I know of have adopted the Paleo Diet or some other low carb nonsense.

Seems to me WFBP is alternative/holistic, is it not? Healing with food is not mainstream as far as I know. And I'm finding some impressive results with alternative approaches, curing T2 diabetes, cancer, etc.

There are also paleo people who are more similar to Atkins diets even though the paleo diet is supposed to be high in animal protein rather than fat. The paleo people, atkins and weston price foundation people tend to attend the same conferences.
