The carb-fearing world is not always on target from a scientific/physiological standpoint. The minute people start fearing foods like beans & classifying certain foods as evil, you know there's a problem -- and that problem is a lack of moderation. I don't think it's at all bad to regularly eat the so-called "evil" stuff, as long as you don't gorge yourself on it. As for beans, well, they're especially useful for marking your territory or clearing out a room
. If you have the right digestive machinery for beans, have at it, it's just food.
