Hello and welcome back to your favorite health and nutrition podcast The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore! Today, Jimmy talks with and proudly introduces you to a documentarian (and comedian) named Tom Naughton.
Tom has a real beef with Morgan Spurlock, the infamous creator of Supersize Me. As you may recall, Spurlock’s claim to fame made the assertion that fast food specifically from McDonald’s is leading the U.S. into an obesity epidemic by offering unhealthy, addictive food and pushing larger and larger food servings. In contrast, though, Tom Naughton’s response documentary, FAT HEAD, claims that this is “a load of bologna!”
We hear from Tom in today’s interview about some of the key themes of FAT HEAD: namely that it shows that obesity is NOT an epidemic, is overdiagnosed, is not a disease and is not a death sentence. Further, with the help of some key low-carb consultants Dr. Mike Eades and Gary Taubes, he shows that it is very possible to lose weight AND improve your health markers on a purely fast food diet by simply applying some common sense and avoiding insulin triggering menu items.
Listen in for a fascinating, fast-paced, hour-long interview, and then put on your typing fingers, because we have something exciting going on here at the podcast and we need your advice
People have been asking us to make certain classic episodes of this show available to purchase on CD, and we’re seriously considering it. The problem is that this will be either very labor intensive or will require some serious up-front investment from us, and we want to be sure that a) there is enough interest and b) that we choose the episodes that people really want.
What we’re considering is either CDs of specific interviews, or theme-based CDs (on topics like diabetes, for instance), or a mix of both types of discs. For those of us with less-than-photographic memory, you can jog your memory by perusing the archives here.
We’d love to (no, make that NEED to) hear from you about this in the comments section below. Please bear in mind that one CD holds a maximum of approximately 80 minutes of audio. THANKS so much for your help!
