carbohydrate

Description

A carbohydrate is the leading actor in the culinary theater, simultaneously releasing joy hormones and guilt the moment it hits your mouth. While countless diet manuals brand it a traitor, it mercilessly exposes our willpower’s fragility through its sweet temptation. In moderation it powers our engines, in excess it stashes itself as body fat—a dual personality performance worthy of applause.
