A few days ago, the New York Times Magazine published an article by Tara Parker-Pope entitled The Fat Trap. This has apparently caused the ego supremous nerve in the whydablitome region of Gary Taubes' cortex to fire uncontrollably. The result? Well, a petition, cloaked as a "Letter to the Editor" of the NYT.
When I first heard about this I was astounded. Huh? Here you have Gary Taubes ... THE Gary Taubes! ... Award winning science journalist who penned the classic "What If It's All Been a Big Fat Lie" in the very same publication, author of the NYT Bestseller Good Calories Bad Calories ... Yes, THAT Gary Taubes. The same man who had the lay-friendly version of GCBC published not much more than a year ago, Why We Get Fat. Yes, the very same Gary Taubes who was on the nationally syndicated TV show of one Dr. Oz ... not to mention countless radio and print interviews in the mainstream press in a publicity flurry surrounding the book. That journalistic exposure is not even including the three interviews with Jimmy Moore and several other low carb "luminaries" and even a few lesser knowns.
