That's diet fad nonsense. Carbs give you energy. Insulin resistance is only an issue with diabetics. Unless he is diabetic, it doesn't matter. Carbs are not the enemy. High calorie diets and genetics are. The reason why people are so unhealthy today is because they eat too much because the food manufacturers have figured out how to make food taste really good so that people will eat more and more of it. Healthy food is bland and boring compared to all the junk food out there today. But healthy food fills you up and makes you not want to eat more. I figured out a great trick, when you're going for sweets, have some sweets, but eat a piece of healthy sweets like a piece fruit before you grab that third cookie. This will satisfy your hunger.
The best pre-workout meal is one with carbs and protein and is easy to digest. So probably sausage may not be the best since it has a lot of fat and fat is slow to digest.

Please tell me how long humanity has had access to modern wheat and rice, hybrid fruits year-round, and a constant supply of food.

You are smoking the koolaid.
Genetics
GTFO
What a bunch of debunked garbage! You seriously have zero understanding of how the body responds to different macronutrients.
It's real simple, but the people who sell food make it complicated because that's their job to make money by deceiving you. Hence all the diet fads. There's a new one every few years. It's all about how much you consume (laws of thermodynamics), getting the right amount of macro/micro nutrients, and if you're predisposed to certain diseases (genetics) you may have to be more careful with the types of food you eat.
Excerpt below from here (check it out): https://www.dietvsdisease.org/do-carbs-make-you-fat/
"Indigenous groups like the Tarahumara Indians, Kitavans and Massas all thrived on high carb diets for hundreds of years. Obesity was rare (if not non-existent) in all of these indigenous groups (9, 10, 11).
For example, Kitavans had virtually no overweight people – and very low insulin levels – despite a diet that was 70% carbs (12)."
laws of thermodynamics
(aka CICO)
There is a major flaw in this mentality which assumes that "calories out" does not depend on "calories in." The body adjusts to so-called starvation mode by burning fewer calories.
You sound fat.
