In almost EVERY case, the starch is nothing but a vehicle for the fat! But people are so used to eating them together that they're convinced that starchy component is as tasty as the fatty component.
Except now, they don't want you to eat the fat, so in keeping with a low fat diet, many people are eating dry bagels, crackers and popcorn with nothing on them, and plain baked potatoes.
If you go LC long enough, you get used to eating the fatty foods without the starch. Every time I accidentally get a bit of starch mixed in with my real food, I want to spit it out because it tastes awful. Makes me wonder how I ever ate it before, but I'm pretty sure it was really only because of the fatty stuff served on it making it palatable.
