Here's another "video" (it has sound and static images only). As I haven't learned how to embed a YouTube video that starts at a specific time, here's a link to it and a picture of it:-
To quote: "You can basically exercise as much gluttony as you want, as long as you're eating fat and protein."
Itsthewoo told me that Taubes was being ironic i.e. he was joking. I call bull-shit on that, for the following reasons.
1) You don't joke about something as important as diet, in a video that's likely to be heard by many people.
2) If you are foolish enough to joke about something as important as diet, you make 100% certain that listeners know that you're joking, by stating in the very next sentence that the preceding sentence was a joke. Taubes didn't do that.
3) I didn't hear chortling or any other audible clue that Taubes was joking. Did you?
I therefore conclude that itsthewoo is hearing (and seeing) the world through "cognitive bias" Weird Filters , resulting in her hearing what she wants to hear. Sorry!

Ah but Nigel, he said "exercise". That leaves some room for interpretation. Also "as you want" for a diet known to suppress appetite. A lot of people would not find this controversial from their own experience. A few would say it does not concur with theirs.
1) Taubes says that exercise is useless. Your argument is invalid.
2) Gluttony = eating to beyond satiation. Your argument is invalid.
