How bad are beans in this carb-fearing world? I mean veggies are good. Fruits are okay. Bread, pasta, rice, etc are the bad boys, and the fully white version of those are just plain evil. Where do beans fall in the spectrum? Beans are my (healthy?) friends and I don't care to completely shun them.

I'm doing a TNT-ish thing since February or so (I think -- I'm getting old and senile and live in a time warp) but I'm wanting my little beany friends back. I'm not talking about eating beans 3 times a day but maybe a couple of times each week. I'm going for balance here and the directional propulsion provided by bean power could steer me in a good direction, I think.
