everyone pushed the “food pyramid” as a guide to healthy choices, but that was way overweighted in carbs
general recommendation was to eat less fat to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health…. But that fat tended to be replaced by more carbs
eating less meat was pushed for a variety of “health” reasons, so replacing meat with more carbs must be good, right?
We’ve had decades of poor nutritional recommendations, even poorer habits, and corporations pushing “healthy” options that are not. It’s been getting a bit better, all too slowly, but we have a couple generations facing the consequences of poor eating
In my humble opinion it’s not carbs that are the boogey man, but particularly the ones in the pasta and bread you normally buy at the store. White bread.
I think if you had a little more Quinoa and potatoes and skipped the beef, you’d be in a better place than eating beef meatballs, tomato sauce, and white pasta. My two cents.

Everything is a trade off, to a degree.
