I think it's more to do with our idea of a balanced diet being out of kilter. I've met plenty of people who are now replacing carbs with meat, which to me doesn't feel like the right way to go about things. One day perhaps we'll realise for a start that we don't need to eat so many calories in each sitting. Then with any luck we'll realise that vegetables (not potatoes) should form the base of the 'food pyramid'.

This was supplemented with oatmeal occasional vegetables, and very occasional salted fish, but the vast majority of their nutrition came from potatoes. The results? The highest birthrate in western Europe and people historians of the time considered healthy and good-looking.
