    You are right with everything you say.

    Still the consumption of carbs is too normalized. Many people believe that you should have carbs with every meal which is insane. Just look at any restaurant food, fast food and everywhere. Unless you are dieting you for sure don’t have to avoid carbs, but don’t seek them out either.

    I believe this is the single biggest reason for the obesity problem. Most meals really shouldn’t have any added carbs, yet they do.

      May I ask what continent you’re on? That could explain our perspectives on this.

      Different environments create different problems, after all

        Ohh, that’s an interesting take! I guess for large parts of Asia it is a bit different. It is a problem in north America as far as I can tell and in Europe where I am from.
