An interview of Gary Taubes the author of "Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health." It's an interesting take on low carb, high fat diet and how he believes the government got it wrong. I'd like to hear your opinions of the interview. It is about 10 minutes long but I think it's worth the watch. I was thinking of posting it on the main food and nutrition board but I'm worried that it'd cause a meltdown by people who don't agree with paleo/primal/low carb lifestyle.

    I didn’t watch the interview but read the book which I found to be very provocative. You might also check out this website that is written by a doctor that agrees with Taubes.
