The real issue is carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are poison for humans. Doesn’t matter whether sugar, starch, beans, fruit, white, brown, refined, “whole grains,” etc., etc. etc.

The government will continue to propagandize for carbs as long as farmers can hire lobbyists.

I agree in general, we aren't supposed to eat the vast quantities of carbs that are in our diets. But there is a difference between types. Generally carbs mixed with fiber (whole grains, vegetables, etc.) are absorbed more slowly, and don't spike blood sugar/insulin as much as much as more refined carbs. That doesn't mean eat an unlimited amount, just that given the same amount of carbs, the less processed are better.

True, but today’s wheat being the worst at this point (in any form), but I’m sure the rice growers are trying the best to come up with killer-strains too - don’t want to be left out.

Do you mean sugar or carbohydrates. You are actually advocating that human beings can live on zero carbohydrates?

I'm a little surprised to hear that coming from you. Have you turned yourself into the police yet for attempted murder or assault? If carbohydrates are poison, then you are guilty of these crimes against many people once a week, possibly more frequently?
