I don't know if you've ever heard of Jimmy Moore, but he is a podcaster/blogger who has become popular among low carbers online with his show, "The Livin' La Vida Low Carb Show." most of his guests are also fellow low carb advocates, but on occasion he will feature someone who doesn't hold this position.
This week, it was a doozy.
Dr. John McDougall is the author of a diet book that promotes a high starch/carb diet. The good doctor is also a vegetarian, so his advocacy is along the lines of getting rid of meat altogether. Now, I'm for choosing what works for you (like I said before, I'm an advocate for finding your right diet, not for pushing my low carb lifestyle down the throat of people), but some people are so stringent in their advocacy that they can't understand this.
Dr. McDougall is one of those people. Listen to the podcast to see what I mean. Moore is trying to be as polite as possible to this guy, but McDougall is having none of it. At one point he insults Moore's struggles with his weight, which at this point is at its lowest point in his life.
It's very funny to listen to someone struggle with defending their beliefs sometimes when they are challenged.
