I went to Amazon and looked at the reviews....it looks good. I think I may part with some coin, thanks for the suggestion.
Taubes’ previous book, “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” is a gem, but it’s very dense with both science and a somewhat rambling history of “how we got here.” What he shows is that food science is EXACTLY like “climate science,” completely polluted and distorted by activists who captured a certain group in the government. With food, it’s the “low-fat, anti-meat” people who pushed carbs-—creating the obesity crisis. (My wife is a phenomenal baker, and Gary’s diet works, if I can get around my wife’s brownies and cookies!!)
