I know people tend to rationalize most things they do. I would caution people to see starches as evil. THey are a treatment modality and effective for many. But most of the world can eat starches without difficulties. That being said there are a lot of very bad starches put in our food at the supermarket. It's no wonder our country is so fat. but if people are teaching there kids that noodles are bad I think it sends the wrong message. I personally try to stay away from making my diet my kids diet from the NSD point of view.
