What makes you say that interest in fiber has diminished? Just because people are increasing their protein intake doesn't mean that they are lowering their fiber intake.
By reducing the amount of processed cereals that we all grew up eating, people are reducing their intake of sugar, processed carbs and gluten. Personally I don't think that's a bad thing.
We can get plenty of fiber from green leafy vegetables and sources other then wheat. It is being discovered that wheat in the form it takes today can be very harmful to us. We've know the dangers of sugar for years, but we still see cereals that are loaded with sugar and corn syrup.
Personally, I have a heaping teaspoon of sugar free psyllium powder in a glass of water every morning. That is more than enough fiber for any human being. Then as I said, along with plenty of protein, and fat, I eat salad, broccoli, spinach and other fiber rich veggies.
