Why We Get Fat
Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It is a 2010 book by science writer Gary Taubes.

Harvard pulmonologist Dennis Rosen reviewed Why We Get Fat in a positive light, calling it a “well-researched and thoughtful book.”[1] In The New York Times, Abigail Zugar characterizes Why We Get Fat as “a sort of CliffsNotes version” of Taubes’s Good Calories, Bad Calories, resulting in a “particularly intriguing and readable synthesis.”[2]
