When nearly all animals use fat as their primary source of fuel, why do dietary guidelines advise a diet based on carbohydrates for human beings?

Apparently even cows, who eat grass, synthesize fats in their rumen. I could be wrong. Looking for some clarity on this subject. Thanks!

It’s not always the way. Feel free to check out way of life eating such as Keto and carnivore and you’ll find people who live off fats and proteins all day long. A lot of doctors and people grow up knowing the food pyramid/standard American diet and think that carbs are the only way of existing, so that’s why it’s so prolific.

What they don’t tell you is that it’s super easy to overeat your daily amount of calories with carbohydrate-filled food which can be so addictive, sweet and unfulfilling.
