One of my weird food hangups

I don't know how people can eat more than one starch/grain at a meal.

Like when people eat bread and pasta in one sitting, or corn and potatoes, or noodles and rice, etc. My brain just screams "TOO MANY CARBS" and I can't eat them.

I guess it comes from having a mom who was really into nutrition and she was always careful about her food pairings. We always had a protein, a starch/carb, and two types of green/colorful veggies. 🍗🥔🥦🥗

I think your mother was right. I have to carefully watch my carbs because I have type-2 diabetes. I can have complex carbs like whole wheat bread, but I really have to avoid simple carbs like white bread, white rice, pasta, potatoes.

I notice many people don't eat green vegetables with their evening meal anymore. You need your greens people.
