If you were looking for examples of expert madness to support your thesis and wrote up a counterexample instead, well done for going so far to avoid confirmation/‘publication’ bias.
The first post I was originally neutral on and negative on the second for the same reason as Jack. But now you’ve started to demonstrate some of Taubes’ misrepresentations in the third post, I am more positive on the second post. I’m not sure whether it was avoidable (for any reasonable amount of effort) for the posts to be so non-sequentially dependent in their standing. I shall probably hold off on voting on the posts until everything’s in.
I do think the third post is somewhat dependent on the second one, as a large part of the problem is Taubes trying to make mainstream diet recommendations look like a mirror-image of the Atkins diet.
In fact, I wonder if I should have combined the two posts into one.

I’m looking forward to the rest of ’em!
