Why we get fat – interview with Gary Taubes
Why do we get fat — and what should we do about it? Conventional wisdom says eat less, move more. The problem is that this advice rarely works very well.
Science writer Gary Taubes has spent the last decade finding a better answer. His book Good Calories Bad Calories has been very influential, changing the minds of many. He’s also written the more accessible Why We Get Fat – and What to Do About it.
Here Taubes discusses his theories (that are surely close to the truth) as well as the criticism from people who still think that calories are all that matter.
