Enemy of the State, Friend of Liberty
Source: FEE.org
"--But Rome at the time of the Catilinarian conspiracy was not the Rome of two or three centuries before, when honor, virtue, and character were the watchwords of Roman life. By Cicero's time, the place was rife with corruption and power lust. The outward appearances of a republic were undermined daily by civil strife and a growing welfare-warfare state. Many who gave lip service in public to republican values were privately conniving to secure power or wealth through political connections. Others were corrupted or bribed into silence by government handouts. The republic was on life support and Cicero's voice was soon to be drowned out by a rising tide of political intrigue, violence, and popular apathy."

COMMENT: My diet has been "low carb / low sugar" for a very long time, but I finally went "all out" ketogenic in August (High fat, very low carb, moderate protein.)

My primary interest in switching over to a fat-burning metabolism was to see how it affected my mental and physical energy (very happy with both.) Obviously, you don't have to go into ketosis to benefit from adding healthy fats back into your diet. If you're just looking to justify a little more bacon and butter, check out the "9-Lies" article above...
