First, we have the type of carbs that are used to mix fuel and air in a combustion engine.

Then, we have the carbs that provide an immediate source of energy to the body.

If either one was banned forever, which should it be? Keep in mind:

If you ban carburetors, every vehicle that came stock with a carburetor will vanish. No more ‘72 Coupe de Villes, vintage Mustangs, Duesenbergs, original 911s, classic Mercs, and the like.

But if you ban carbohydrates, that means no more appetizing pizza, spaghetti, fried chicken...or much of anything involving bread for that matter.

Carbohydrates all day for me. Just look at the price difference.

Eh, fuel systems can always be replaced, but even if all carbed cars were banned, there were a handful of classics with mechanical fuel injection.

remember, no carbs, no beer.

Beer wins!

Food carbs. Keep the pizza and use the energy to LS swap away all the mech carbs.

Best of all worlds.

I don’t understand why you would ban automotive carbs. They aren’t used in modern automobiles, and many classics get retrofit with EFI. Nothing wrong with the few remaining builds that use carbs. The other carbs on the other hand - everything in moderation. No need for banning those either.

Can you do without potatoes, wheat, rice, corn, beans, fruits, leafy green vegetables, milk, and everything made from those things?

One does not think of carburetors as fondly after rebuilding a motorcycle engine with four of the bloody things.

If you ban carbohydrates, all sports will become boring, since athletes cannot perform on fat alon. If you want power, you need to burn carbs. More info here:

Carburettors can be replaced with injection.
