While carbs are not essential for human health and nutrition (any glucose required can be made in the liver from protein) .. they do taste good, and in moderation can be used to add variety, satiety and interest to meals.

What I'm having trouble with is the idea of Kraft and Lean Cuisine instructing what's good for me. To me, the only good carbs come direct from Mother Nature, just like the good fats. These folks aren't pushing natural whole wheat berries from the bulk foods store, they want me to buy their highly processed things. Maybe we should start calling them trans carbs
