And contrary to what Taubes wants you to think, perfectly compatible with recognizing that the causes of obesity are complicated.

Taubes doesn't advocate "recognizing that the causes of obesity are complicated". He advocates that cutting carbohydrates because of their effect on insulin is the main mechanism.

Saying "causes of obesity are complicated" also doesn't help people with their day to day nutrition choices.
