I've heard "Eat Less Exercise More" hundreds of times from tons of people. All the time.

As I'll discuss in the next post, it's good advice.

This is the crux of the matter, and quite a few people disagree with it very strongly. In fact, it's downright offensive.

Some people take Taubes very seriously as a source of scientific information about nutrition, and unless it were a very long post, those people wouldn't have been satisfied.

Those people aren't here. All of the ad hominems against Gary Taubes are wasted on this audience.
