When I was in school carbs were on top of the food pyramid.
And looking at this now it is still on top :

Japanese eat a lot of rice,
white rice and they are outperforming US and Europeans in lifespans. So no, rice isnt bad, or carbs cant be compared to fentanyl. Everything can be bad in excess. Fentanyl is 100x stronger than heroin and does a lot of damage to your body. Rice is doing the oppsite, it is actually good for the body in moderate amounts. So these 2 are not comparable. One is a toxin the other one a carbohydrate thats been around foever.
"Rice is the
staple food of over half the world's population. It is the predominant dietary energy source for 17 countries in Asia and the Pacific, 9 countries in North and South America and 8 countries in Africa. Rice provides 20% of the world's dietary energy supply, while wheat supplies 19% and maize (corn) 5%.[13]"
