Unless you're an athelete, starchy grains are completely unnecessary and pointless as part of a healthy diet. In fact, they should be removed from the 'food pyramid' altogether, as they don't serve a purpose except to detract from getting carbohydrates from nutritious sources such as vegetables, fruit and tubers. They are also the main driving force behind weight loss/gain; why not publish articles about this rather than make saturated fat out to be the bad guy?
