Do we need carbs?

Whilst I suppose it's theoretically possible I would really struggle without carbs to eat, mainly due to the expense of alternatives. I eat very little meat and even less fish partly due to cost.
 
True, it would be pretty costly. I don't particularly like a lot of meat on my plate. We have at least 2-3 meat free days a week. From 13yo to 20 I was vegetarian, ashamed to say I have not got quite so strong principles as I have matured and have returned to the dark side 😱

I find the kids definitely need the carbs for their high energy levels.
