I vouched for your comment because you do raise valid counter evidence, however for future reference I think it could have been stated a bit more tactfully.
> Walmart offers free 2-day shipping on most goods I would typically order from Amazon,
Yeah because WalMart is just a bastion of ethics. Why not support local businesses? I guess you have to ask what you goal is in quitting Amazon - if it's "sticking it to the man", buying stuff from WalMart is probably even worse, ethically.
If you pull out a big enough "ethics" magnifying glass, you will find ethical flaws in every corporation. One can make the argument, depending on where on the "woke sliding scale" you may lie, that shopping at Walmart is better for the environment than Amazon: they already have a streamlined, efficient supply chain and logistics operation. Amazon relies on a myriad of logistical networks, with many inefficiencies still yet to be solved. But again, not the reason I am shopping/not shopping there.
It has nothing to do with sticking it to anyone. Amazon doesn't have the same value proposition as it once did. I realized I was using it just to use it, among other reasons.
If by local you mean funnel their money back to corporate headquarters, while simultaneously driving up social welfare costs through shit wages and even more shit healthcare benefits, then yes, it's a local business.
I think you should test what works best for your body.
I actually don't do strict keto, I have a lot of protein in my meals, way more than I should if I were on keto alone.
But I've tried balanced, low fat, high fat, etc. And I have found this works best for my body day-to-day. I think that if you don't feel good, then its ultimately unsustainable and bad for you and that should be your ultimate gauge.
You can't "fall" for a metabolic state. While there are plenty of people pushing faux keto diets as a means to sell you something you don't need, putting yourself into a metabolic state is a biological reality.
