All 3 have slightly different perspectives on the problem. And I'm not sure you can synthesise a coherent approach from the three of them. For Lustig the problem is sugar, and the fructose it contains. For Taubles it's carbs in general and for Pollan it's industrial food.

they've started putting nutritional information on the food in the canteen here. i used to get a muffin occasionally; turns out the toffee apple muffin i liked comes second only to the chocolate chip muffin, losing out by 605 kcal to 589 kcal.
that's more than four cans of coke. i shouldn't be surprised, but i was.

You should have two muffins tomorrow. Take that, science!

Fucking have three.

Unless you're fat and you don't want to be. Then you should think about having something else.
