I agree, with the caveat being I enjoy learning about what others area doing because it spurs me to look into the 'why's' of it. I've learned a TON from people, mainly around 3FC, because of finding out what they're doing (even if I don't necessarily agree/think it's the best thing to do). I've changed modes countless times in the past year of my new lifestyle, done a lot of research (can you call googling things research yet? lol), and have found out things I never knew. I've tried lots of different things; some FOR SURE not for me, some I may go back to, some crazy stuff, some really awesome stuff.
I usually won't argue with a person about their way of eating unless they are specifically uninformed and just plain ol' wrong and putting wrong info out there for others to be misguided by.
I'm very stubborn and it takes me a long time to come to terms with new information that is in contrast to the ideas I already hold. It's discussions just like this that I really enjoy reading.
In regards to the OP, I do think that "carb" has a lot of negativity attached to it, and has for many years now. Of course not all carbs are created equal. That is kind of in relation to a post from a few days ago about "is a calorie a calorie?". If not all carbs are created equal, then that would by default mean not all calories are created equal!
