Hey, all! Had a great conversation this evening with Gary Taubes. He has landed a book deal and is working as we speak on turning his Science/NY Times article into a book. I'm pleased as punch. He is fascinated by not only the low-carb phenomenon but the Paleo angle, as well. I was pleased to learn he appeared on the Charlie Rose show; I plan to order it on tape! He was pitted against Dean Ornish and someone from the American Heart Association. Taubes said he asked for decaf, please but they gave him regular coffee instead and that, combined with Dean Ornish's illogical low-fat blatherings, left him ready "to reach across the table and strangle him!" At any rate, thought you'd find interesting the media hits Gary Taubes enjoyed in the wake of his NY Times article. If all stories listed below are in response to this article (and I think they are, have yet to whip out my fine-toothed comb), it came to 54 stories/appearances - I don't think Charlie Rose subscribes to Nexis. Enjoy!
