Of course you did

First you started by saying how "Processed foods are the the issue. Not "grains". Carbohydrates are not the devil here"

and then

"But so many overlook how carbs are good. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with carbs and fiber. Most people don't think 5 grams of broccoli carbs are bad for you, but it's obvious when you compare those 5 grams from broccoli to 5 grams of carbs from Oreos."

According to you then barley and legumes which are loaded with carbs (Good carbs, not Oreos carbs) and fibers are good and doesn't make someone fat, because as you wrote, processed foods are the issue, right? Nowhere in my post i say anything about "copious amounts", you did.

It's a strawman only if you ignore the historical/nutrition data, unless you believe that barley and legumes are processed foods full of added sugars.

"Gladiators, it seems, were fat. Consuming a lot of simple carbohydrates, such as barley, and legumes, like beans, was designed for survival in the arena. Packing in the carbs also packed on the pounds. "Gladiators needed subcutaneous fat," Grossschmidt explains."
