What does that have to do with ketosis? You can eat a lot of carbs and not be fat...

True. Unless you were rich. Even heard of gout? But yeah probably somewhat accurate for the whole population. But again, not much to do with ketosis.

I mean is there any evidence even today that someone whose diet is primarily (~80%) grain and other plant products with a lot of carbohydrates can enter ketosis even when practicing "intermittent fasting" while consuming ~2000-3000 calories per day (e.g. the estimate for standard Roman soldier daily rations is 3,000-4,000)? Seems impossible...

You mainly eat a grain based diet. Consume 2000+ calories and manage to "enter" ketosis? That's extremely remarkable...
