Sheldon, if you're that patient with Fumento's fumentation, then I'll be patient too. You've corresponded with him before, and know quite well the tricks he uses. 
Fumento's anger and frustration at Taube's can be summerized in this little quote from his fumenting piece

But even here Taubes is no pioneer; the damage caused by fat-free fanaticism was pointed out long before. (See, for example, my own 1997 book, The Fat of the Land.)

The thing is, I'd be happy to read another gem from Taubes, but at the same time, I'd be sad to see him descend to the level of Fumento, who argues in terms of book sales and salaries, and doesn't care to provide meaningful facts and/or relevant studies.
