Now, of course there will also be some butter, cheese, and stuff like that, but it's not like 15 large eggs or about 400 grams of rib-eye steak will be the standard daily dose. If you switch to salmon for example, 22 grams of saturated fat would allow you to eat more than 1 kg of that salmon...
Sure, you can make it work, but it would take real effort, given the way/volume people eat. They're not going to eat 15 eggs in one day, but they are going to eat a lot more of the stuff listed at the top of this new inverted pyramid.
