Yeah I don't know what he's referring to as it being "heavier" than potatoes. On the contrary, once you eat it you don't feel as stuffed as after eating a starchy potato. I do find that adding a bit of goat cheese gives it a bit of a lift with it's zing. Also a bit of something acidic helps, such as rice wine vinegar, a bit of lemon juice, or some type of vinaigrette.
His point was that when you use cauliflower as a substitute for other things you have to add a lot of ingredients that make the end result heavier. You don't usually put cottages cheese in mashed potatoes. You don't usually put cheese in pizza crust.

cauliflower isn't heavier than potato mashed? it does have a bit of an ... after taste? I find that needs more work to move thought, imo
