The problem with what you're saying here is that you're using the general term "starchy carbs" which people take to mean something other than what I think you're trying to say. I prefer to use the term "processed carbs" in the context you're using it, which covers white bread, white pasta, etc. This separates the type of cabohydrate that does cause highs and lows from the wholegrain carbs, which are high fibre, contain more protein, and are digested slower. (When you say "starchy carbs" are bad, most people will assume you mean all bread, all rice, etc, and I don't think you're saying that.)
Generally, I think I agree with what you're saying, although I don't usually go into it in so much depth because most people don't care!
As for fruit juice, it has 2 - maybe 3 - uses in my life. It thins down a smoothie to the point where you can actually drink it rather than needing to eat it with a spoon, it's great before an early morning run when I don't have time to digest something solid before I go, and (the possible 3rd use) it's one of the first things I'd look for if I was close to bonking and had to get some carbs in me quick. Otherwise, I'd rather eat fruit.
Lettuce, beetroot, cabbage (I think), yellow and red peppers, carrot and sweetcorn. It also has a sachet of mayo but I didn't use any of it *pats own back*
But I knew this would be the case so I went prepared.
