This is pure sugar and carbs and out ancestors loved it. Our brain is hardwired to find carbs delicious because it's one of the most reliable sources of energy. It's not a coincidence that carb-rich Italian cuisine is the most popular worldwide. Ketolards are depriving themselves of something essential to humans.

>essential
It is not; it is necessary for optimal health in nearly all instances, which is different. You want to stimulate insulin enough when you eat to optimize antioxidant defense, for example.

most carbs don't taste sweet and exist in extremely bitter plants thoughever. grasses are like that. only recently did we cultivate some decent ones, and they still don't taste good on their own.

a number of seasonal fruits and honey (also seasonal) are the only exceptions of note.

also plant carbs exist in the form of barely edible starch (cooked) or inedible (raw). ripe fruits can be eaten raw. what else can, really? generally cooking and leaching is required to make something even remotely edible. the edible and bioavailable nutritional value is really really low.

You mean palatable.
>the edible and bioavailable nutritional value is really really low.
You know shit. There are vegetables that are better sources of calcium than dairy, for example.
