Why is it that he's so popular on HN? Did I miss a recent front page post or something?
I swear every time I'm in a nutrition related thread I see somebody mention his name or a book he wrote or talk he did. I used to be pretty deep into weightlifting and nutrition, and I don't know that I ever once ran into his name in all my reading, and I spent a stupid amount of time reading about macro + micro nutrients.

Because he's a very talented charlatan, wrapping up his arguments in very convincing pseudoscience, and he seems to have fooled a lot of nerds with his approach.
