sure, additional sugar in the context of western diets is bad. What I'm objecting to is the vaguely paleo point you're making of "lots of vegetables, little fruit" as a bare claim. If you're aware of any evidence that a carb heavy (where carb heavy for me means 40-50% of calories) diet is bad when those carbs come from whole food sources I'd like to see it. Anecdotally, I can say I get a lot more fruit, milk sugars, and starchy tubers than I do cruciferous or leafy veggies, and I can't find anything lacking in either my blood panels or nutritional analysis of my diet.
