Potatoes make you fat

[Mik]

So this says. I love them but rarely eat them because they are always laden with butter and such.

I didn't think spuds were still classed as vegetables from a dietary perspective.

They're vegetables in the same way that beer is.

LOL Yup, when I was there, I learned that it is possible to live on nothing but potatoes. There are enough vitamins and minerals to allow you to do so.

In fact, they said that before the "Potato Famine" about 60% of the population lived on nothing but potatoes!!!

They are not very common in Taiwan, so I never developed a taste and dont really like them. The main "starch" in Taiwan is rice, but we do eat sweet potatoes.

Yes I'm sure it's the potatoes and not the booze/snacks I demolish each night before sleeping.

So you've got vegetables and starch covered. Add ice cream to get some protein.
