Gary Taubes and Frederick Crews discuss "Why We Get Fat"

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes acclaimed authors Gary Taubes and Frederick Crews to the store to discuss "Why We Get Fat".

In Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It, science writer Gary Taubes seeks to debunk the standard "calories in-calories out" model of diet and nutrition. He argues that carbohydrates, and their ensuing insulin production, are the true source of weight gain, and that insulin's regulation of fat tissue is the true source of our modern obesity epidemic.
