Well carbs have only been "bad" over the last few decades.
Nobody ever seemed to have an issue with them before that.
Carbs were the main macos that fueled people who built the Great Pyramids, or the Roman Legions who conqured most of the known world at that time. Carbs fueled the workers who laid the railroads crossing north America. Carbs fueled the message runners of Native North American tribes while they ran 20..30...40 miles in a day delivering important information to other tribes. Carbs are the primary fuel for riders in the Tour De France who ride for three weeks at racing speeds covering hundereds of kilometers over tall mountain passes. Were any of these groups known to struggle with weight issues or lack of energy to accomplish these feats ???
No Carbs are just another thing we in our modern "knowledge" have made out to be a boogyman because it supposedly is the primary cause of so many fat people. When in reality its laziness, a sedentary lifestyle, the overall ease of modern life that are the culprits. But hey....it so much easier to blame it on carbohydrates now isn't it ?8 -

what does liking them have to do with them being good or bad? Some of the most nutritious foods available to us are carbohydrates. Veg, fruit, whole grains like oats, legumes, lentils, potatoes and sweet potatoes and beets and other root vegetables...4 -
Thank you Lemurcat2 . I guess I need to take back everything I said here. Because you have given us photographic proof that there are such a thing as bad carbs 😧8

When do we judge anyone based on whether you like them or not? This is why we have legislation, criminal codes and judges.
I think individual feels get far too much weight these days.
When it comes to food, we have national food guides. It turns out all the foods are good for us in context.5 -
I have a Love / Hate relationship with Carbs.

What you like has nothing to do with what is good for you. A whole lot of people are obese because they like tons of sugar and tons of fat and don't like exercise. Had they never learned to love sugar, fat, alcohol, etc. and never learned to dislike exercise they would be far better off today and live longer. No, carbs are not bad for you and in fact are essential. Too much of anything is a total disaster though.2
