The photo is terrifying.
Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they’re a vegetable, so you can tell someone you’re eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald’s for some frenchy fries
The frying is the questionable part. (Well, the french part too but…)
wdym a ‘complete protein’
There are several essential amino acids we need to survive but don’t produce in our bodies. No plant has all of those amino acids, but every animal product does. You can get complete plant protein by consuming multiple different plants, so if a vegan has a varied diet they’re usually fine.
Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.
Tell that to the Irish.
The Irish’s problem wasn’t that they weren’t growing enough food. Their problem is that Britain was taking all the food they did grow.
