One of the pushbacks I receive from people, including my husband, is "if carbs are so bad and make you fat, then explain little Asian people." Fantastic question.

I thought that was a great post!
Two thoughts: One, I always thought I was doing the right thing by forcing my husband to eat brown rice. Turns out I was so wrong! And two, I really do miss rice sometimes - especially to soak up a yummy meat gravy (boeuf bourguignon) or tomato sauce. I think a little white rice (organic) once in a great while would be a good cheat. And I feel better giving my husband rice to eat - because he really needs the carbs on his muscular, thin frame - rather than him crave bread and pasta.
