“What I tried to make clear in Good Calories, Bad Calories was that nutrition and obesity research lost its way after the Second World War with the evaporation of the European community of scientists and physicians that did pioneering work in those disciplines. It has since resisted all attempts to correct it.

“In Scripture and in Church history, Christians fasted for penance. But they also fasted to put their passions and appetites under control, to identify with Christ, to enrich their prayer life, to become holier, and to prepare for spiritual battle.”
