I think that calling it carbs is dishonest. Carbs from oats/rice etc. are fine IMO. The problem is with simple sugar without any other nutrients(protein/fiber)

I think that calling it carbs is dishonest. Carbs from oats/rice etc. are fine IMO. The problem is with simple sugar without any other nutrients(protein/fiber). Also soda intake in USA is scary. I never met (educated) overweight person who was suprised about their weight (gain). Most people just eat a lot of sweets (but are fine with it).

> Carbs from oats/rice etc. are fine IMO. They are not. Eating white rice leads to malnutrition. You need vitamins and micronutriets, not just carbs and proteins.

  White rice is enriched with vitamins in the US precisely because it used to lead to malnutrition when people depended on it. And brown rice is also generally available.
