Yeah the anti-carb bandwagon really goes to extremes. My personal take is that if people want to take the risk, they're free to do so.
It can get a little annoying when they preach that any little carb (exaggerating) is going to ruin you.

YES I completely agree. It is all about balance of calories in and calories out AKA work! Now the %'s of carbs, fats and proteins is up for debate depending on what performance level you are trying to achieve and what particular activity. For example the contents of a diet for a NFL running back vs. an elite marathon runner will be different. But so will their training. This can become an in depth conversation for sure. However, carbs are being demonized for overweight issues in the USA.... that are directly related to over consumption of all nutrients... thus accumulated mass.
completely agree... they're a convenient scapegoat.
Seems like alot of people search for scapegoats instead of old fashioned self responsibility. Holding ones self accountable goes a long way is all of life's success. This is particularly true in fitness AND business :)
