Lets face it, the only way we can feed the huge and growing population in this world is with carbs. Grains are the only food that currently can be produced in sufficient quantities to feed the growing population. The problem is that highly refined carbs(sugar, wheat flower, and white rice) are the products that are being provided to these populations and it is slowly killing them. One way to decrease the impact of a high carb diet is to limit the simple carbs(sugar) and I think that is what the WHO is trying to do here. I don’t know if they realize that the hi-carb diet they propose is what is causing the obesity epidemic or not but they really can’t propose anything else as there is just not enough protein and fat in the world to feed all these people. I really don’t think the WHO has any other choice then to support a hi-carb diet.
