Why We Get Fat

The short answer is: carbs. Chances are, you can learn what you want to know by just reading the highest-rated Amazon.com reviews. Most of this book is just setting up straw men about an oversimplified calories-in-calories-out model and then destroying them. It also spends way too much time making the argument for eating meat, and is a little ridiculously skeptical about the health (as opposed to fat-losing) benefits of exercise. OTOH, it's a pretty engaging thing to listen to on a 10-hour road trip.
