Not true. Potato, squash, tomato, carrot, corn, garbanzo beans, sun dried tomato (the worst), and peas are among the high carb veggies.

Potato, Squash? Corn? Are you seriously thinking Starch based foods are veggies? I mean, can we call Wheat a Veggie? Or Rice? Or :hmm:

Tomatos? Since when?

Carrots? Since when?

Oops tomato is technically a fruit my bad.

No, starch based foods arent veggies. But veggies are. WTF are they then? Grains? Dairy? Meat?

Do you have a link to support this? When I googled for fat kid at mcdonalds the only suits I read about were ones where fat people were suing McDonalds for making them fat.

Look at the photo, look at the arms. That is not skin. You don't need a link to recognize that is plastic.

Sorry, my bad. No potatoes, squash.
Sun dried tomato a problem what???
Carrot, tomato not a problem.

yeah I'm talking the non-starch veggies.
Tomato is certainly not a problem. It is also not very filling. Carrots and celery and green beans are very filling when eaten with protein.

Sun dried tomato:

per serving...30g of carbs! 20g in sugars! Thats alot man. Carrots are about 13g per serving. Problem is, no one eats one serving.

If you think the carbs in veggies, fruit, and other produce should be counted in the same way and regarded the same as carbs from processed foods, you're an idiot.

They're not nearly the same, and our bodies handle them differently.

The problem, weight-wise, with produce isn't the item itself but what it's most commonly served with or how it's prepared. Potatoes are great, but stuffing it full of butter isn't going to keep the weight off. Broccoli is good, but smothering it in processed cheese is what adds the pounds. Apples are wonderful, but covering them in caramel doesn't help your waistline.

A little butter, a little salt, or a little cheese is fine... but that's not what most Americans go for; they go for a lot of everything.

I should also add that snacking and soda are probably the two single biggest reasons for weight gain, aside from physical activity level.

Why should we care? Healthcare is free now.

It is? Last i read you righties had your panties in a bunch about how expensive it is going to be and how much your premiums are going to go up. Get off the fence. Is it free or more costly?
