Being a potato guy through and through, it grinds my gears that potatoes get a bad rap.

The American Indians in South America, ate potatoes for hundreds of years, potatoes, even saved many people in Europe there’s nothing wrong with them in moderation.

They also had a much more active lifestyle (e.g. farming, hunting, physical training, etc.) that would offset carb heavy foods.

those potatoes aren't like the ones we cultivate now; similar for things like corn and bananas.

and they weren't eating half a kilo of them, deep fried, in a sitting (e.g. fish and chips or McD's french fries) for breakfast lunch and dinner

> McD's french fries

those are not potatoes.

are you solid on the inside or like hash browns?
