This was one of a series of short interviews that I was asked to conduct with various people at Low Carb Denver. Jen was really nice to talk to and made things really easy, as did the recording crew who were somewhat new to the conference environment themselves, in the absence of the Diet Doctor team.
Those of us attending the conference got to watch the documentary on the Saturday evening. I've seen a number of these sorts of documentaries now, but I think this one does a really good job of summarising the history of the issues with our guidelines, how they really fostered a fear of fat over the years, and the problems to which we have been led as a consequence. It's clearly aimed at the layperson so it may possibly come across as a bit basic for some of us here, but on the flipside, I think that makes this documentary a really good first choice for someone who you think might be interested in exploring this topic for the first time.

Thanks. For what it's worth, I used to work in radio many years ago. At that time and at my size at that time, it was the perfect job for someone who didn't want to be seen. So yeah I used to talk a little bit, but being in front of the camera is not something I'm used to at all. But I guess once Rod got wind of my history, he was keen to have me help out where needed, and I didn't mind giving it a shot.
