why we get fat

I finished the new book, Why We Get Fat, by Gary Taubes yesterday.  I didn't like it as much as his first book, Good Calories, Bad Calories (review here) but then it isn't really written for me.  While GC, BC is really an indepth science book, WWGF is more of a simplified version for the lay person.  There are some new studies presented which is why I read it.  It's still very good but it's just not science-y enough for me.  If you're interested in why we have such a hard time losing weight then this is the book for you.
