I am not so convinced "Carbs" are the problem. I see it as a situation were too much of anything can be bad. but it comes down to the caloric intake vs. Calories burned. I used to work with some pro cycling teams and some of the riders ate total crap but ridding 4-6 hours a day burned the "crap" right off. I think most Americans live to sedentary of a lifestyle. Logistics have a major role in it, most Euros have to ride a bike or walk to a train station to go to work or get around. We just hop in the car to go to the gym to go work out for 30min.
