I think it's more that we're talking about obesity. You might not be the most nourished person in the world but noone is obese from eating too many potatoes, you get obese eating pure sugars and modern engineered refined foods.
- etangent 6y ago> noone is obese from eating too many potatoes You get obese from eating too many calories, source is irrelevant. Sugars and refined foods are dangerous because they are particularly addictive. But if you crave carbs, and think potatoes are a "healthy" way to satisfy that craving, you're very wrong.
- thatguy0900 6y agoI mean, source kind of does matter, because potatoes are pretty filling. You would be hard pressed to eat enough potatoes to become obese at 110 calories a pop, unless you cover them in cheese and sour cream and meats, in which case it's not really the potatoes fault. I'm not saying they're a healthy diet option but you can't blame potatoes for someone being obese, which is what we're talking about.
