Gary Taubes: The Inanity of Overeating
Agreed. In stark contrast, I appreciate Michael Pollan's pithiness:
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
It's not that complicated, folks.

No offense, but that's complete bullshit, and the sort of tautological reasoning he's mocking. Of course you should eat "not too much" -- eating "too much" is too much!

The key word in that quote is "food", though; the "not too much" is an afterthought.

It's 7 words and you think the last 5 are not important enough to be criticized?

Not if the criticism is a blanket "this is total bullshit".
