[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think of fruit as a "treat" and think carbs are something to be limited or make you gain weight, and you're not a diabetic, then you have an eating disorder.

If you equate limiting carbs to having an eating disorder, your relationship to food is probably disordered too.[/quote]

Yep those darn sweet potatoes! Chickpeas! Fava beans! Oranges! Carrots! Barley! Lentils! Farro! I may even have ice cream a few times this week to help cool me down after dinner. Soooo disordered!  :D  :D  :D [/quote]

Maybe not disordered, but wow, you sure worked hard to know a lot! Yes, beans, legumes, and fancy grains have carbs! Oh you are so sophisticated! Brava! Surely people looking to limit carbs are referring to fava beans (haven't seen those fresh in two decades), barley, and farro, not fries, bread, beer, and eggo waffles.[/quote]

I don't think you know what a carb is. Maybe you're talking about processed food? They are not similes.

Carbs are what encompass the diet of the healthiest populations on the planet, by and large. If you can afford it, go to Italy and off the beaten path. Fresh raw fava beans are delicious. Maybe even have it on some fresh bread with olive oil.  :)

Oh wow, so you not only show off every carb you know, but you also assume I don't know what a carb is. 
I ate fresh fava beans weekly at my grandma's house for years (I grew up 'off the beaten path' where you may have gone on a nicely Instagram'ed vacation) but I also know what carbs encompass in the standard American household. So if your neighbor or frenemy wants to avoid carbs, you're a secret pompous narrow-minded idiot to laugh at them on the inside because the healthiest populations on the planet eat carbs, instead of understanding that they are trying to avoid the carbs that are in the standard American diet.
