Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It

This is the quicker version of Taubes' “Good Calories, Bad Calories.” It's hard to say that I “enjoyed” it, given how depressing the subject matter is, but it was certainly very enlightening. We eat food that encourages insulin production, insulin promotes fat storage, and voila, you have a worldwide obesity epidemic. This book, and its predecessor, have completely altered the way I look at what I eat, not to mention how I look at most dietary guidelines from the government and various other health-related organizations.
