It isn't the potato that is bad* It is what is put on it or how it is prepared!

The potato is the most popular vegetable in the United States. Potatoes are very nutritous, filled with vitamins, minerals and potassium. As good as they are for you I believe that we as Americans need to begin eating other vegetables as much as we eat potatoes. A balance of vegetables is the most healthful to our bodies.

A lot of people in the USA just eat too much and exercise too little.
Potatoes are quite nutritious as long as you don't prepare them with a lot of fat.

It's not that people eat too many potatoes. It's that people eat too many fried potatoes in the form of French fries and chips. And too many potatoes with cheese and butter and sour cream and frickin BACON and cheese. Potatoes are good for you when you're not drenching them with fat and goo.

I think rice is better than potatoes in many ways

I don't think there's a limit on the potatoes. What I DO know is that when it comes to potatoes you should choose the organics. Non- organic potatoes are one of the unhealthiest produce items out there because of the absorption of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

Potatoes are quite nutritious, as they contain potassium and other minerals, protein, starch, fiber, vitamin C, and lipoic acid.
