Submission + - What Makes Us Fat and Why Nobody Seems to Care (berkeley.edu)
Stu Charlton writes: "Gary Taubes, author of the book Good Calories, Bad Calories, was recently invited to UC Berkeley to give a talk on the various hypotheses of obesity. In this video podcast, Taubes directly contrasts the hypothesis that "calories in > calories out" makes one fat, over a hypothesis that claims the defect is a hormonal or metabolic one. This author's work was rowdily debated in an earlier Slashdot story, with many claiming the former hypothesis as the only acceptable one, invoking the Laws of Thermodynamics. Taubes directly challenges this line of argument here, making the podcast a worthwhile watch for those following the low carb vs. low fat lifestyle debate."
