Strong suspicion that this whole trend has been beef industry influenced and or funded. Especially since they quite often decide to tout beef tallow (somehow as “healthy”) instead of a non-seed based oil like olive oil, avocado oil, etc.
For some context of the other things the beef industry has done before:
Using checkoff money, NCBA [National Cattlemen’s Beef Association] has developed what it has called a “Digital Command Center” – a sophisticated online monitoring system that tracks media outlets and social media for more than 200 beef-related topics. Hosted in Denver in a space that “looks like a military operations center combined with the TV section at an electronics retailer”, according to a recent Cattlemen’s Beef Board mailer sent to ranchers, the command center alerts members of NCBA’s issues management and media relations team whenever stories or online chatter rise above a certain threshold. It’s staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with personnel redundancies built in to make sure someone’s always watching.
Agree with this but for full disclosure I am vegan. I think though there is at least some beef industry money behind the “anti seed money, carnivore diet, eat raw meat until your body expels cholesterol”

That was my first thought too. No grand conspiracy or personal mission here, just basic corruption by some of the shittiest people.
