I want to say "Sounds Good!" just to keep the S.G. theme going, but, unfortunately, this selection doesn't sound that good, at least for some of us, because Dr. Gupta is an "obesity epidemic" guy who occasionally likes to mingle his fat-hating with misogyny.
For more on Gupta's Big Fat Problem, see Zuzu here, too, as well as Fillyjonk, Rachel, and FatFu.
And if you're not sure what the big deal is, check out Meowser's guest post about how fat-hating and bureaucracy is not good news for anyone, especially as we verge on creating a (partially) public health system.
