The potato is one of the best and noblest foods.
If you get fat on potatoes it's because you're a pig with no self control. Don't blame the spud.

Bad carbs are just ones that are refined or eaten in excess. I usually peel bigger potatoes because the skin is kind of papery and unpleasant, but it's better to leave it on smaller potatoes. Just don't eat too many of them, and it's healthy.

Potatoes, beans, whole grains, fruit, small amounts of sweeteners/refined carbs = good.

Large quantities of sugar, refined grains, never eating fruit = bad.

There are no good or bad carbs, it's just about portion control. "Muh carbs" fags are going to give themselves heart attacks with the amount of fat and salty shit they substitute perfectly healthy vegetables with.

Every single carbohydrate is a waste of precious resources. Carbohydrate production should be banned. They are the sole reason for degeneracy of societies.

I think when people say good carbs/bad carbs they really mean is the carb combined with micro-nutrients as opposed to refined carbs that have had everything stripped away.

That's an issue, but It's more about where they stand on the glycemic index, meaning 'long lasting' energy vs 'short lasting' energy, the latter also increasing the chance of diabetes and heart disease for your average sedentary person. But high GI carbs are necessary if you want immediate energy, like for athletes, so they aren't simply 'unhealthy'.

Potatoes are relatively high GI though, so they are basically 'bad carbs'.
