Well yes, that is true...

However, all I see are all unhealthy options to ingest. Since changing our lifestyle, I only see it as sugar/carbs. I just can't unsee what I have learned about how our bodies process foods.

I'm sure some folks will say...sugar?

For those that don't know...

Yes, starch turns into sugar when we digest it.

We haven't had potatos, rice, pasta, etc for years.

Oh, one of my favorite foods. So many ways to enjoy them.

The lack of them in 1845-1852 caused the Irish to suffer.

That's how important they were/are. 

Pass the French fries, please.

Carbs make me feel HAPPY

Agreed!!!  We are having fries today.  We make them in the oven though, so they are somewhat healthier.  I know a lot of people are not happy about us eating carbs but I'm sorry I need them -- that's all I'm saying about that!  And a vodka and cranberry drink hits two notes - carbs and fruits!!  Thank you very much....

What works well for some doesn't necessarily work for all.

For many people, potatoes are an excellent option --  it's what is added to them that creates many of the health issues.  There's an almost plain baked potato on my menu at least once a week. 

I've limited many foods from my weekly menu plant, but I eat even those occasionally.  A few months ago I read a list of suggestions for how to live a life for future good health.  Not until the very end did I see this sentence: "If you do all this, you should live to be 80."

I was already 80+, so I felt confident I was doing what worked well for my body.

Oh my goodness..........I didn't take it seriously..........just thought it was funny. 

Although I was watching a youtube video of a woman who made "chips" from broccoli.

Very clever and very true!

I've never met a potato in any size, shape or form I didn't like
