Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It (Audiobook)Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It (Audiobook)

An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.

Michael Pollan heralded it as "a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food."
