I believe the "Comment" is a statement by Taubes and "Response" is by Bray.

I liked this book. It investigates why some people gain weight on excess calories and some don't, and looks at obesity as a symptom of something else, rather than an end result. And, Taubes doesn't really say that calories in/calories out doesn't matter. Just that it doesn't fully explain why some people are obese by eating excess calories and some are not.

The responses to Taubes' comments seem rather simplistic. coach hale, have you read GCBC? I wonder what your thoughts are on the book.
