Alright, this post is gonna piss some people off, but that's okay, it's the weekend & I'm stepping outside after posting this.

... I was recently asked the question of whether or not Gary Taubes actually believes his own *kitten* (i.e., bodyfat loss & gain is all about carbs & insulin, not energy balance). Having debated him face-to-face, my take is that yes, he does believe his own *kitten*. Furthermore, he has way too much emotional (and other) investment in his beliefs to ever let go of them. I asked him explicitly whether scientific research can sway his opinion, and he said, "Probably not."

I would imagine that the same applies to Dave Assplay and Bulletproof Coffee. We're talking about a beverage (coffee with butter & MCT oil) touted for having health & fat loss benefits, which some people hilariously believe. How about his incredibly humorous product called Fat Water? Does Dave believe in it too? I think a big part of him actually does. He has way too much emotional and financial investment to think otherwise - or to ever let scientific research sway his opinion. Also, he doesn't have the scientific background to discern which of his beliefs are bunk or not (same with Gary).

Cliffs: some people who perpetuate *kitten* actually do believe their own *kitten*, and their sincerity of belief captures the uneducated sheeple's emotions, and tons of money is wasted on crappy products and unfounded beliefs. What's the solution? That's a toughy. We can start with arming the lay public with resources. Here's a search engine created by Michael Hull that produces search results that only lead to websites pre-selected for being science-based & non-bullshitty (see for yourself and search Food Babe): http://www.nutrisearch.info/
That's my diatribe for today, have a great weekend, everyone.
