So. Starches.
Specifically in relation to a guy who has been warned that he may get diabetes.
Are potatoes always bad starches?
What sorts of words do I look for to determine if a rice is a good rice or a bad rice?
LJ brain trust, I entreat you to share your wisdom.

Also, for rice, brown=good, whole grain = good. "Wild rice" isn't rice, really, but is usually good. If you are making it yourself, make sure there is at least 2 g fiber per serving if you aren't sure.

White rice=bad, and that includes fancy names for white rice like jasmine or basmati. Spanish rice and fried rice are usually made with white rice unless they specifically say otherwise.

Whole foods makes brown rice sushi, by the way. You can also find places that will give you a brown rice burrito.
