Taubes' Work Goes Mainstream

Ode to Gary Taubes. This is so obvious, I can't believe we all fell for it. If working harder didn't make you hungrier, every lumberjack, athlete, and Naval Aviator would be dead from under nourishment. Obviously, if you work harder, the body compensates with appetite. The first time realized this truth, I felt like an idiot for falling for the 'burning off the calories' idea. "Hey Paul, ever hear of 'working up an appetite?'" WE ALL KNOW IT"S WRONG BUT STILL FELL FOR IT!
