Grimes' Fountain of Wisdom

LOL

Yeah... Keynesian economics sure did work out well for nations...

All that massive inflation and unemployment.

I swear man, had it not been for low IQ nuts r-breeding and psychopathic statists, we'd be a transcendent species by now.

Sure, you seem to forget that Keynesian economics proved their efficiency many times...

-the Black Tuesday in October 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. President Roosevelt's New Deal saved America's ass.
-the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008: one of its most notable consequence was Lehman Brother's bankrupcy. Thanks to US Government intervention, several investment banks could escape a similar destiny.

Your political dogmatism prevents you from seeing the truth, Grimey. I don't deny that Hayek and Friedman were visionaries too. I respect their ideas. Therefore, you should respect J.M. Keynes. The world is neither black nor white. And economics is not an exact science.

Gary Taubes

His main hypothesis is that carbohydrates stimulate the secretion of insulin, which causes the body to store fat.[2]

Taubes gained prominence in the low-carb diet debate following the publication of his 2002 New York Times Magazine piece "What if It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?". The article, which questioned the efficacy and health benefits of low-fat diets, was seen as defending the Atkins diet against the medical establishment, and it became extremely controversial. Some scholars interviewed for this article complained that Mr. Taubes misinterpreted their words or treated them out of context.[7] Taubes himself stated: "[E]ven though I knew the article would be the most controversial article the Times Magazine ran all year, [the reaction] still shocked me."[8] The Center for Science in the Public Interest published a rebuttal to the Times article in its November 2002 newsletter.[9] According to Taubes: "[T]he CSPI is an advocacy group that has been pushing low-fat diets since the 1970s."[10]

In 2007, Taubes published his book Good Calories, Bad Calories: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet, Weight Control, and Disease (published as The Diet Delusion in the UK). This book examines how a hypothesis — that dietary fat is the cause of obesity and heart disease — became dogma, and claims to show how the scientific method was circumvented so a contestable hypothesis could remain unchallenged. The book uses data and studies compiled from more than a century of dietary research to support what Taubes calls "the alternative hypothesis."[11][12]

Taubes's hypothesis is that the medical community and the U.S. federal government have relied upon misinterpreted scientific data on nutrition to build the prevailing paradigm about what constitutes healthful eating. Taubes makes the case that — contrary to the conventional wisdom — it is refined carbohydrates that are responsible for heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and many other "maladies of civilization". In the Epilogue to Good Calories, Bad Calories on page 454, Taubes notes ten "inescapable" conclusions, the first of which is, "Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease, or any other chronic disease of civilization."[13]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Taubes
