Wildfires and Keto Diets

2018 saw the most devastating and damaging California wildfires in history.

It was crazy, and grimly ironic, that both the poor and the rich were left fleeing their homes as “Paradise” was hit.

It made it very real when you saw celebrities share pictures and videos and stories online about needing to evacuate their homes. No one was immune, and in a sense, it brought a better picture of the common humanity of us all. We’re all just floating along on this planet trying to get by and survive the best way we can. We’re all impacted by the same forces, just maybe to different degrees (for instance, some celebrities were able to buy private fire fighters to protect their homes).

Anyway, in the midst of all of this, you got a real picture of these people and the struggles they were going through, some in even losing their homes or trying to track down family members. Sure, they have money, they’ll be okay, but the identification of losing so much that’s so home to you is something I’m sure we can all relate to that would be an emotional struggle.

Despite all this, one thing that stuck out on one of these videos from a fitness celebrity fleeing her home was a comment from one of her followers: “What do you think of the keto diet?”

On second thought, I guess for some the fires did nothing to bridge that common humanity gap after all.
